(scroll to airflow section for airflow diagrams)

If it does block the rear fan, should I get a Corsair SP fan to replace the stock rear fan?

Thanks! :) :) :)

there's a long way to go before you can block the rear exhaust fan.

For this day and age, it'd be best if you looked into current gen cases for your build that involves current gen hardware. I don't think you're ever going to need an optical drive in today's era of media consumption unless you're burning DVD's. If you're concerned about the OS installation, you can create your own bootable USB installer but you'll need a licence key to activate your OS. For the price of 180USD you can easily look into full tower chassis's or even mid tower chassis's. One notable reference can be the Enthoo Evolv ATX courtesy of...

An even cheaper option can be the Phanteks Enthoo Luxe.

I just saw this article that Evga is releasing a new super cool full tower gaming case by Q2 2016. http://fudzilla.com/news/39644-evga-shows-off-prototype-full-tower-atx-gaming-case-at-ces-2016

What do you think? Should I wait?

Thanks

Do you have the AIO liquid cooler as an exhaust or intake? and just to make sure you've got one 230mm front(intake) one 200mm side(intake) powersupply(exhaust) and top 140mm(exhaust)
