I'm in the process of building a PC with the Lian Li Lancool 207 case and I'm looking to add 3-4 extra fans to improve airflow. I'd like to place one fan in the back and add 2-3 on the top. I'm using air cooling with a Thermalright Peerless Assassin CPU cooler. Here's the complete list of my components if that helps. Can anyone recommend fans that would work well with my setup? I want to avoid buying the wrong fans and having to return them.

Honestly, the Lancool 207 has great airflow right out of the box. Adding extra fans will only give you a slight boost in cooling. If you do want to add more, putting one in the back for exhaust is a solid choice, though you don't really need to fill every fan slot unless you're aiming for an aesthetic look too.
Yeah, I agree! A back fan could really tie the build together, even if the cooling benefit is minimal!
True! A back fan does help with looks and can enhance airflow visually. Just balance out function and form!
