Case Cooling question.

Veracis
Level 7
I purchased the Cool Master 690 III case. It comes with a Seidon 120V watercooling closed loop system. The case itself has a Side window so it does not have a side fan.

It comes with a 200mm front fan and a 120mm rear fan installed. I plan on placing the Seidon fan/radiator on the top rear aspect of the case.

My question. Do I need an additional 120mm fan for the top or the bottom or both? And which brand would you recommend.
As an FYI if the Seidon is terrible i plan on grabbing the Corsair H100i.

While I agree. the Seidon came with the case and if its still able to keep the chip cool I will have saved $90 which I can put toward my Graphics card, monitor, or PSU which I have yet to buy and waiting for them to come on sale.

On another aside. Is it worth waiting for the Poseidon version of the gtx 770 over the EVGA, does anyone know the estimated price of it? I do not plan on custom watercooling but like the idea of being flexible for the future.
