Hello everyone, I am a first time builder and a complete novice when it comes to anything with building or upgrading PCs. I did some research and bought part that I believe should fit well together after doing some research and modifying previous builds from other people.
Here is the Link and list of what I currently have (already bought and shipped)
https://pcpartpicker.com/user/JP3ACE/saved/Kq7j4D
CPU :
Intel Core i7-4790K 4.0GHz Quad-Core OEM/Tray Processor
CPU Cooler:
Cooler Master Nepton 240M 76.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
Thermal Compound :
Coollaboratory Liquid Ultra 0.15g Thermal Paste
Motherboard:
MSI Z97S SLI Krait Edition ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
Memory
Kingston HyperX FURY 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1866 Memory
Storage:
Samsung 950 PRO 256GB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive
Western Digital BLACK SERIES 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Video Card:
EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6GB Superclocked ACX 2.0+ Video Card
Case:
NZXT H440 (White/Black) ATX Mid Tower Case
Power Supply:
Corsair CSM 750W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply
again, I already purchased what I believe to be a good build. If you have any notes on the build I would greatly appreciate them, but at this time I will have to build with what I have unless I have made an extreme error somewhere I may have missed.
I have never really owned a desktop computer before, so have not really known about parts, keeping up with temps, stock fans vs custom, water vs air cooling, etc...
So, for what I currently have my main question is this: with these materials and this case, how should I set up the air flow? Are there any fans I should buy to replace the fans in the case (I hear you should always replace stock fans)? How many? where intake? where outtake?
I know its alot to ask, but I really don't want to put it all together and risk messing up my first $1800 PC. I will by more/better fans if needed. Please Help!!
Note: I have read up on a few forums on this already, but I want to know specific to my build how I should proceed.
