(I'm also getting a Thermalright fan & ARGB hub x8)

I'm building my first PC, I've been looking into a good fan setup for this case I'm getting, but unsure what's best.. I'm wanting the Thermalright TL-M12 ARGB Fan and the reverse version, along with the Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 SE Black CPU Air Cooler. I was wondering how many fans I should get (of each, Reverse/Intake & Exhaust)? Also, where I should place each intake & exhaust fan? I think I want like 9 or 12 fans (in total), but if that's too much then I understand. I want neutral, with slightly positive, air pressure.

Budget: max of around $88 USD for the fans (*CPU cooler not included, max is $60 USD for that. So $150 USD in total*), buying from America.

(I almost wanted an AIO for my build, but I saw more people recommend that air coolers are better. I'm set on the TL-M12(R) fans, but I'm willing to replace the Phantom Spirit *with another Thermalright model, as it matches*, if recommended)

Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks

Keep in mind, I'm new to building a PC.. I will happily accept suggestions/changes!!

I have no specific budget in full, just reasonably priced based on the item is what I'm more so wanting (it's not me buying the parts). Accurate Examples: Case? no more than $95. Motherboard? no more than $115. GPU? no more than $470.

I will buy parts off of eBay, FB Marketplace, etc.

Extra info:

• I live in America

• I prioritize performance over visuals. example: good airflow, quiet fans, good cable management, etc. (but some aesthetics would be nice)

• ARGB fans are a personal preference, but I will accept recommendations if they work better

• I want a tempered glass side(s) (like 1-2).. I'm pretty set on the case in the build though

Disclaimer:

I don't know/have the exact model of my RAM, but it is the same brand & gb sizes
