Hi guys i'm new so forgive me if this is the wrong forum to ask.
I have a rig from Ibuypower that I am upgrading myself and I have a question about my new motherboard and my case fans.

That is my motherboard. Now here is my situation. In my case right now I have a front 120mm, side 120mm, and a push/pull configuration on my corsair h80. four fans in total all 120mm. When I look at the details on this motherboard, specifically the internal I/O connectors I see that it has 3 chassis fan connectors(1 4pin 2 3pin), two CPU fan connectors (1 4 pin 1 3 pin) and a power fan connector (3 pin).
Here is my question. Just where should I plug my 4 fans into? I think its obvious that I should use up all 3 of the chassis fans. I am just wondering where I should plug the fourth. I know that one of my CPU fan connectors will be used up by my corsair h80( I am guessing the 4pin one?) so should I plug my fourth fan into the 2nd 3pin CPU fan connector? what about the power fan connector. it may also be worth mentioning that I have a fan controller in the front of my case. as of this moment( I haven't installed any parts yet, waiting on my GPU) I can control the speed of all four of my fans and monitor my case temps. I'm wondering how that will come into play.
Current Mobo is a Gigabyte GA-770T-USB3
Thanks for any and all help. Go easy on me, all I really know about installing PC parts is what I've seen in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_56kyib-Ls
So far I have installed new ram, my corsair h80, and a pci-e wireless network adapter all by myself so that's basically what I know I can do.
