So i changed my build again. Ticket number: 749184 and put in the special assembly box 2 140mm fans at the bottom. What do yall think? Do i need to add any fans on top or just leave them off? Oh and can i go with the Noctua air cooling or will the 212 suffice?

Hi ArkansasWoman777...   Still tweeking for the ultimate build.  Nice. Big%20Smile
That build looks great.   The Hyper212 for stage 1 oc is very good.  If you went stage 2 oc then the Noctua d14 would be the choice.  The D14 is the best so if you can then go for it, it does fit the case I believe.
Here's the build for others to check out easier.    Cost $ 2970

The only problem is that the 500R can't take two fans on the bottom.  One of the mesh grills is for psu., the other for a fan   You don't really need more fans than what is stock but it probably doesn't hurt.  If I added any fans it would be to the top but again not needed for your setup.

Looks great and good luck. Big%20Smile

The Storm Trooper is a real nice case with good reviews.   Very good cooling and lots of features.     And a carry handle if you want to take it out to eat.

Guru3D did a review that was all positive.

Here is a video of the Storm Trooper case at Newegg TV.

Is to recognize thyself as thy 1st enemy.
