I'd say no if im honest, and this might be contested but i'll say it anyway. If you're pushing lots of nice cold air into the case with the AF120 and theres no/crappy rear fan to pull it out it'll really not move that fast once it hits the already warm air in the case.

I bought case fans as a precaution when i bought my new case. I got some Arctic Cooling F12's for four pounds each and they still work well for little money. I'd suggest two of those, because even if you decide you dont need them, they are cheap.

It'll be fine. if you need more three pin adaptors in time, buy a TX3 fan splitter.

Yeah I was looking at those on amazon yesterday because I was originally buying 4 fans haha thinking I needed them. But now I know that I only really need 2 extra fans, once again thanks for the help.

Theres never a specific amount and aslong as you're getting what you want out of it then do it. If you have two and think "you know what, i wanna fill all of the fan slots" then do it, although people say it isn't necessary...this is the reason we don't buy store PC's, so they can be unique and ours.

Yeah as long as you get the right temperatures its fine and I think with the 2 fans and the built in one I'll be fine and yeah originally I was going to buy a pre-built PC from Bedir shop on amazon, but I thought I would be able to get a better one for around the same price or just a bit more so then I came on here haha.
