The one part I'm not sure about is the motherboard. My case (Z11 Neo) has 5 fans built in but most motherboards only have 2-4 slots for case fans but I've heard that you can also plug in fans into the PSU. I haven't been able to find online anywhere which says whether or not I can do this with my set-up. Otherwise, I think I've chosen parts well but I'm open to suggestions. Thanks!
