I just made this build here http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Cephii/saved/3ChL and I have a few questions.
1. With the case I have which comes with 2x preinstalled 120mm fans. Will I need to purchase an additional case fan or are those two enough.
2. Will this system be able to play modern games like Skyrim, BF4, Ghosts, Far Cry 3 etc.. on High to ultra settings?
3. If there is anything I can change to make the build perform better please let me know, and is there any incompatibilities with this system? First time builder and don't want to screw anything up.

Thanks in advance!

You do good builds AMD Radeon but a 7850 will perform quite a lot better than a R7 260X (HD 7790 rebadge)

I was told that the FX-6300 wasn't worth it and should spend an extra 20$ and get the 8120. Is this true? Also what about the games I listed above? Will I be able to run those with decent framerate on high/ultra?
