Hello guys. It is my first time building my very own PC from scratch and i wanted to get some advice from you. First of all i haven't bought anything yet except for the case mentioned in the title. My rig is (gonna be) as follows:
CPU Intel Core i5-6600K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor
CPU Cooler CRYORIG H7 49.0 CFM
Motherboard Asus Z170 PRO GAMING ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
Memory ADATA XPG Z1 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2133 Memory
Storage Intel 600p Series 512GB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive
Toshiba 3TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Video Card Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1070 8GB G1 Gaming Video Card
Case Corsair Carbide 400C ATX Mid Tower Case
Power Supply EVGA SuperNOVA G2 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power
Supply
And my questions are:
1. Are there no compatibility issues over there?
2. Is the build any good?
3. Which fans should i use? AF or SP ones? I've been thinking about buying the 140mm Air series from Corsair, maybe putting 2 on the front, 2 on the top and one on the rear, or is that an overkill?
I do realize as well that there are 2 fans supplied with the case, although one is 120mm, another one is 140mm but it is just one, so i could buy 6 of them for aesthetical reasons, but then again i am not sure if that is neccessary. I guess the fact that i am gonna stick with an air cooler instead of a liquid one does change the things a bit as well as there is going to be a big obstruction in between the exhaust and intake fan(s). Not an expert in those things though.
3. I was thinking about changing the 1070 G1 with ASUS 1070 ROG Strix 08G as the price is almost the same, will it fit in that case though? as it's a bit bigger i think.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you again
