This is my first gaming desktop and I need some help seeing if everything I got is good and will last me a long time. I'm not that good with computers so I don't know of any brands to steer clear of. If you can look over my build and tell me if I need more fans or a different power supply or something, it would be much appreciated. I will be on wifi and using the first Bluetooth ps3 headset and also need to know if I need to get something for it. I am also buying from cyberpower and NOT building because my parents won't allow it. If there is a better website right now please tell me.

That computer has some of the best brand new parts out there. This computer will definitely be able to play anything you through at it, and it will last you a long time.
The only thing I suggest that you do later on is upgrade that 8GB of RAM to 16GB. Games and other processes are starting to take up more resources, so you'll need it later. Other than that. It's practically flawless. Good job.

Generally a good intel i5 (4670k) (instead of the i7) is plenty for gaming and you can easily overclock it yourself or get someone with some knowhow to do it, but the whole system seems a good price.
With fans I recommend that you have more filtered intake fans and less out fans so you get a positive pressure inside the case which leaves less dust inside the case. Good RAM should be DDR3 and run and 1600+ MHz, your memory looks good because it is 1866 MHz.
Its a real shame you can't build it because its great fun and you learn lots of new things.
Overall this is quite a good system and you have done a good job, if you are allowed to should buy a LED light kit to make the system look nice through the window.

How do you add extra intake fans on Cyberpower? I know you can add fans but I don't know if they're intake or out fans

I don't think you can do it on cyberpower but it is easy to configure fans when you get the PC. You will be able to tell which fans are which by looking at which way they face. Overall fans shouldn't be a big problem because you have a good Graphics card and CPU cooler. It was just something to take into consideration and if the PC runs quiet and cool I wouldn't worry too much, just make sure to clean the dust out from time to time.

As far as frequency of the RAM goes, you're just fine. Brand wise, Corsair, GSkill, and Kingston are the most well known.
If you want a pre-build system, then Cyberpower, and iBuyPower, are the best two in my opinion. But if you want the experience of putting it together yourself and building it from all the parts, then I would go to PCPartPicker.
For case fans, 2 or 3 is usually plenty. The main cooler you want focus on is the CPU cooler, and the one you have there is good.
Hope this helps!

There won't be a big noticeable difference really. Unless you leave it on all the time, you shouldn't notice anything really change.
