Hey everyone! I'm a bit unsure about what to do when it comes to selecting case fans for my build. Functionality is my main concern, but if they happen to look nice, that's just a bonus. I'm also wondering if I need a fan controller for my setup. Here's a link to my build for reference: https://ie.pcpartpicker.com/list/7CfHYd (the 5080 is just for the future since I got the CPU and GPU for free).

I recommend checking out Arctic P12 fans. They perform well and come in RGB if you want that look. You don’t need a fan controller, but I suggest getting two 3-to-1 PWM splitter cables. This way, you can set up three fans for intake and three for exhaust at the top and back of the case. You could even fit three at the top, but that might be overkill since you'll already have a radiator there. No need to buy extra fans if you’re already covered!
Thanks for the advice! I'm kinda new to building PCs—do you think just three fans and an AIO radiator will be enough for cooling?
