    Fan Placement Advice in Switch 810

    Hi,

    I'm pretty new to self builds but have been digging around trying to get as much info as I can. I was thinking of sticking in as many fans as I could into this case to keep it nice and cool inside. Not sure if that's a bit overkill and whether I can get away with less.

    Got about £2000 - £2500 to spend on it (preferably on the lower end of that) and want it to pull its weight for at least 4 years with no further upgrades needed. I'm using a single 23" 1920x1080 3D capable monitor but will potentially add 2 more in the near future. Not planning on doing any crazy overclocks at the moment but will likely dabble when the system starts to show its age. I also work in video production so may need to run CS6 every once in a while.

    Here's my planned rig:

    Case: NZXT Switch 810
    Case Fans: 6 x NZXT FX-140LB (in addition to the 4 included with the case)
    Fan Controller: NZXT Sentry LX
    CPU: i7 3930k
    CPU Cooler: NZXT Kraken X60 (In top of case with push pull set up)
    Mobo: ASUS Rampage IV Formula/BF3 Edition
    GPU: 2 x KFA2 GeForce GTX 680 4GB
    PSU: PCPower Cooling Silencer MKII 950W
    RAM: (Still undecided probably will get 16GB of DDR3 1600 (4 x 4GB) - Ripjaws, HyperX or Dominator Platinums...)
    OS: Windows 7 64bit OEM

    Thanks!

    Also what would be the best way to set up my fans if I were to use all available fan slots? Where should I be placing intakes or exhausts?
