Yes; that PSU is sufficient. The build looks good BTW. The only change I would make (if possible for you), is to get an Asus GeForce GTX 660 Ti instead. And you do NOT need that many fans. You'll cause more turbulence in the case and disrupt good airflow.

Alright, thanks man. And now I know lol. I was thinking about the ASUS, but I'm a bit of an EVGA fanboy for some reason. It's too late now, but at least I acquired a free copy of Metro out of it. And yea, I wasn't sure about the fans. I pretty much wanted to max my airflow out as much as possible but I wasn't sure if it'd be too much and like, freeze the CPU lol

Yes and no. You won't cool below ambient (or room) temperature regardless of how many fans you put in. Air is a very poor conductor of heat. Which is why food takes a while to cool if you leave it out. Of course, it may help during the winter time or if you have an AC on during the summer time. All you need is air to move the heat away from components so they don't get bottled up and increase the temperature of nearby components. You don't need to blow a lot of fans on them to move heat away. You just need a good stream of air going through the case. If you have too many fans and they are all blowing in every direction, then it'll take a lot longer to move the air out because they will be bumping back and forth way too much.

I recommended the Asus one because it has far better cooling.
