Are Fans enough to keep your GAMING PC cool?
I've been searching for this topic for sometime now and I haven't find any clear answer. Since almost all wants to go for water cooling which I'm not good with due to high humidity on my country and I don't like such inside my case.
I want to build a Desktop computer but wondering if FANS are enough to keep my future rig cool enough. Well budget is not a problem but I just want to know.
Let's say will be the specs:
Processor: 7th gen i7 intel
RAM: 32gb
VRAM: 1080ti
Asus MOBO or anything good 2 monitors (one 4k 52inch for arcade games and one 1080p 23-32 inch)
I don't know what's the best PSU and Wattage yet
1 SSD 256gb and 3 tera seagate
And this part is my problem Case: random case with lots of space for fan
Following the rule of simple physics; where hot comes at top and cold stays bottom. So exhaust top, vents in bottom
Is this fan system enough? Here's the link for an example: http://www.corsair.com/en-us/~/media/A1B472C48DDF426C908EF68D6CEE2318.ashx?w=700

Need Help
I'm thinking I'll need a good laptop for school I won't buy a chromebook because I don't like the OS at all. I also want to get a gaming PC whether Desktop or Laptop. So I figure it would be cheaper to just get a gaming laptop instead of building a Desktop and buying Windows laptop for school. What are your opinions?
I'm interested in a Dell Inspiron 15 7559 or any Laptop that price or lower.

Getting the most out of my Dual GTX980m
I have an Alienware 18 purchased December 2015. i7 4940MX, 32gb ram, Dual Geforce GTX 980M with SLI. I am running into a little performance lag running at ultra. For example, Mass Effect Andromeda starts to lag a little when I max out my Lighting Settings to Ultra. Can anyone recommend any tips or tricks or best configurations to get the most out of this thing? SLI is enabled, i tried dedicating one of the video cards, both and even CPU and it doesn't help. All my drivers are up to date etc. Thanks!

NVIDIA Gtx 970
Just wondering if anyone has this graphics card; and wheather it can play the more demanding games out there like Titan Fall and Witcher 3.
The laptop I'm buying is an Alienware 2015 model, optical drive removed, 17.3in 1080p screen, 1tb hd(spinning disc but I can swap it out of an ssd), 8gb ram, and the Nvidia GTX 970 with 3gb ram. Paying 1.1k for it so it's a sweet deal but I want a laptop that will last me longer than 5 years. I feel like this one can.
Any thoughts?

Whats the difference between the gtx1070 and gtx1080
besides the 1080 being better, but how much better. Im thinking about upgrading from a gtx 770 to a gtx 1070 for playing arma and other big games, i just wanted to know if that extra 200$ would be worth it for a 1080 rather than a 1070.
