I'm purchasing parts for my PC as I type this and I'm not sure how many case fans I should buy. I have chosen the Corsair Air Series 140mm fan (https://pcpartpicker.com/part/corsair-case-fan-co9050009ww) but I'm not sure if I should get 1 or 2 of them. Thanks in advance.

Here is my build:

P2? Sorry that I'm unknowledgeable at internet lingo. And thanks for the compliment on the build.

Alright. It does come with a 10-year warranty, correct? I'm having trouble finding it on their website.

The stock fans in the enthoo pro are good, no need to buy more. I am going to be adding a few more to my case but it is more for aesthetics than performance.
Also MX-4 thermal paste is a little better than AS5 and the same price.

I guess I wouldn't need to purchase the fans right away. I could wait and see if I actually need them. I've never overclocked before but plan on doing a small amount of it.
