Hi Everyone,
I’m setting up a system with an i7-6700 (non-k), a 1TB Sandisk Ultra II SSD, a B150m Mortar board with 16GB of DDR4, a VTX3D R9 390x graphics card (previously available), a 750w EVGA G2 power supply, and a fractal design arc mini R2 micro ATX (http://www.fractal-design.com/home/produ...rc-mini-r2).
I’ll be gaming at 1440p with a freesync monitor and plan to heavily overclock the R9 390x. I’d like advice on fans or radiators for cooling. This is my first build attempt.

For radiators, use static pressure fans. For air intake in your case, opt for airflow fans.
