Hi Users,

I am purchasing a new computer this weekend which will be used for gaming/programming/movies/music etc.

Here are a list of parts I am getting:

CPU: Intel Pentium G3258
GPU: Sapphire Radeon Dual-X R9 270x
RAM: Kingston HyperX Fury 8GB(4GB x 2)
Case: Thermaltake V3 Black AMD Edition

The case comes with a single rear (Exhaust) red led fan and I was wondering if I will need to purchase anymore fans?

I was going to purchase an extra 3 Red Led Fans (120 x 120 x 25mm)

1 for the top (Exhaust)
1 for the front (Intake)
1 for the side panel (Intake)

Do I need to purchase extra fans to keep my computer running quite and cool

(If I don't need to I'd rather purchase them next month to save money this month)

--IMPORTANT--

My monitor is only 720p until I get a new one next month so I won't be able to game in 1080p
until then (should I wait until next month as I am only gaming at 720p)?
 
Solution
i would at least buy one more for the front, maybe the top... i almost never bother with bottom mount fans honestly... top is a nice to have, but not necessary, as long as you get circulation in and out of the case, you can save a few bucks at the moment.

because it saves a few coins for now, as they are not dire for the components he has... i again would only worry about maybe getting one for the front at the moment.
