Seems like a fine build to me. These are all quality parts. You won't be disappointed. I've never seen that CPU cooler in action, but who knows it may be the best out there. Personally, I'd get a different case for that price but that's totally up to you. On this machine, you should be running today's games at about high setting.

That's a fine build, but assuming your budget is around ~$1000, you should be able to get a GTX 770 for a better gaming experience.

I'm sorry for the double post, but I can't edit my post for some reason. I just wanted to say that you should consider getting a 1 TB HDD, it's just a tiny bit more expensive, but the extra storage is nice for all your games.

Probably won't need to. According to Newegg, the Corsair Carbide 300R comes with a 140 mm intake fan and a 120 mm exhaust fan. You could buy some fans to replace them if you wanted them slightly quieter, but the case fans are perfectly fine by themselves.
