Purchased but question about rear exhaust

[elaniel]

Hi All

After much support with a sales agent, I've gone ahead and purchased the below spec. I've always been a docked laptop gamer and this is my first PC. Some things online have me concerned about no fan on the rear. Appreciate that I won't be able to tell until I have the unit, but what recommendations for a rear fan do you have that will match the ones already in the case and top?

Thanks all!

A rear airflow won’t be vital as you already have the 3 fans from the case plus the 2 in the AIO, but if you wanted to install one you want to get a Corsair SP120 fan to match.
That being said, we might be able to optimise your build a little further if you wanted. If so please let us know your use case, and what monitor you’re pairing this with.

Thanks for your response and assurance on the fans. I'll see how I go but can see it's a relatively cheap one if I do wish to add to the back.

It's ultimately for gaming (obviously) and hopefully future proof for a decent few years and can have my hand at upgrading as and when necessary. I'm not a huge fan of Intel, probably from too many lap burns on laptops so wanted an AMD spec. I appreciate there's new CPU's and GPU's coming relatively soon, but was happy to purchase now. Also will be using for some light work, but that's neither here nor there, as I wouldn't need it for anything intensive.

Monitors, I have dual Lenovo Legion Y27Q-20 which are 165hz which I'm happy with. Likely thinking of a change to a potential single larger monitor in a year or so.
