Hello,

I have a 5 year old prebuilt PC from CyberPower (Rattler Evo) that is due an overhaul.
I'm buying new parts but I'm a bit lost on the airflow business.

I already replaced their "Low Cost Liquid Cooling" with a MUGEN 4 and changed the front fan to something that isn't falling apart.

Case: XION Predator Gaming Series (http://www.xionusa.com/product-case-axp970-001bk.asp)
Specifications of where and how fans fit in there in my link.

Things that will be in the way:
Motherboard: Asus Prime Z270-A
CPU: i5 6600k (that I want to overclock)
GPU: GTX 770 (don't judge pls)
RAM: just gonna buy some 8gb ddr4 stick (any tips?)

So...
I'm thinking intake front fan, intake back fan, two exhaust fans on top, not so sure where the heat sync fan should be facing and maybe an intake side fan for the graphics card.

They shall all be 120mm, don't know if I need airflow or static pressure ones, don't know if I need certain RPM to support my CPU overclocking and somehow need to create high pressure amirite.

I came up with Corsair SP120 Low Noise LED fans (by the way, do you think 4 LED fans will make my PC too bright?).

Now correct me!


Thanks a lot.

I can only possibly put one fan in the front. Are you saying one front intake and back exhaust is enough? Even when overclocking?
I could buy 2 Be Quiet!s as you suggest, could you tell me what I'm spending the extra money on though?

I am so sorry but I can also only put one fan in the back (pictures and description in the link). Should I have one exhaust on top and one in the back then?

Edit: The Silent Wing 3 is also an airflow fan while the SP120 is static pressure, was that part of your recommendation or is it not important?
