Bitfenix Pandora case cooling?
Hi! I'm thinking of building my CustoMac using this case. Since it's a slimmer design than most of the cases in the buying guide I was wondering what type of heating issues I may run into with this case and what type of fans/cooling I could use to alleviate any potential issues. Below are the parts I'm considering using. Will mostly be used for Video Editing, Photo Editing, Graphic Design, and Web Design.
Bitfenix Pandora Core
http://www.bitfenix.com/global/en/products/chassis/pandora-core
MOTHEBOARD:
Gigabyte GA-Z97M-D3H or the Gigabyte GA-Z97MX-Gaming 5
CPU:
i7-4790k (I mostly will not overclock it)
GRAPHICS CARD:
EVGA GT 740 SC
RAM:
Crucial Ballistix Tactical 16gb
SSD:
Samsung 850 EVO 250gb
HDD:
4 tb 7200rpm HD
PSU:
Corsair RM 650 Watt (unless the 550 is able to power everything with no problem)
Wifi:
TP-Link PCI Express Wifi Adapter
Their images of the case show it with 2 graphics cards and the CPU cooling mounted towards the front of the case. The case has areas for 2 fans on the front, and 1 on the top (directly above the motherboard). What type of cooling fan should I use for the i7-4790k CPU? I want to keep it running cool so I don't mind paying a few more bucks for kick ass cooling if doesn't require much power (I'd like to keep my electricity bill from skyrocketing). I also would like it to be relatively quite fans. I've seen options for liquid cooling, radiators, etc... What do you guys recommend? And should the CPU cooler be mounted to the front or to the top of the case? I know nothing about heat or power management so any help here is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
