Default Power supply question for new rig.

Hello all.. im a bit... fuzzy when it comes to power supplies... im getting this with my rig

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817139004

Ill have 1 video card. 1 cd drive and 1 hard drive (sata)

My questions is, with this PSU how many fans will i be able to hook up to it?

case has 4 on it by default, but i wanna be able to put a fan on the front cuz it does not have one there... and feedback will be helpful.

Fans don't use much power at all. It's the CPU and video card that draws the most power. But seeing you have a very solid unit, i wouldn't worry about power at all.

Hard to tell from picture, but it looks like theres about 4 3-pin fan connectors. However if you need more, you can always hook them up directly to the power supply.
