So this is the build I was think of. Not going to start build until halloween, but wanted an opinion on case fans.

I was thinking of replacing the ones the case will come with, and just getting a couple with red LED's,

Does anyone have any suggestions as far as fans to recommend, how many would be ideal for the build, and orientation?

Thanks in advance guys.

Price does not matter much at this point because I won't be buying for a few weeks.

/e . This will be used for gaming. d3, battlefield, overwatch, fifa, etc. As well as streaming
Will also be used for some video editing in 4k done by the gf. I plan on an oc

Check out the 950 pro m.2 ssd, They're 4x~ faster than reg ssd's.


The fans that come with the enthoo are pretty decent, But if you want LED.. Corsair AF120/140 are a good choice.

Might want to get a better cpu cooler, if you plan on overclocking.

I own the Enthoo Primo, Which is the full size version. It's a damn nice case.

Consider mid tower case. Full tower are just so big and bulky when not doing some crazy custom water cooling.
I can recommend Corsair Carbide 400C and Fractal Design Define S

Corsair Air Series AF120 and AF140 are pretty decent for the price and with red LED.
Seems like you are going with aesthetics and even overclocking, so i would recommend a 280mm rad watercooler.

Just a notice on this, i won't effect boot time or load time in games.
edit: ugh seems like boot time has changed with some updates lately.

hmmm, I was thinking full case. It is my first build and I wanted room to work in, as well as room to add components as I please in the future.

Those case fans do look nice :), would you recommend getting 1x each?

I am very intrigued by the water cooler you linked. It looks very easy to install/maintain being factory sealed. Would match the build style as well as lower temps. I was thinking to start out with fans for first build but definitely thinking about swapping to that cooler.

Thanks for the quick input :)

I just highly doubt you will ever get to use a EATX/WS SSI size motherboard.
Its more like a personal matter tho. I feel like ATX size motherboards in a full tower looks kinda empty, the lonely void.

And yeah its quite easy to install those Corsair H's. I've install quite a few of them the past 2 years without any trouble.

as for the amount of fans. It depends on the case you end up buying. i just added them to the basket so you could see which ones i was talking about.

I believe the interior is pretty much the same layout between the Enthoo Primo/pro models. Just the Primo is a bit larger scale.

I think i will go with the corsair :P
Still tossed up about the tower. If I do have enough space I may consider the mid, just though full would be easier for first build and I could use the case into the future for a while with a lot of room inside

You have been very helpful :) thank you!!
