I'm planning on getting this case for my rig ( http://www.corsair.com/en-us/carbide-series-300r-windowed-compact-pc-gaming-case ) and I was wondering if I would need to buy separate fans for the case. It comes with two, is that enough or should I buy more?

Specs:
MB: ASRock Z87 Extreme4
CPU: Intel Core i5 4670
CPU: Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
RAM: 8GB Corsair Vengeance 1600Mhz
GPU: OC 780 or OC 770 depends on my budget
PSU: Corsair CX 650W

Thanks in advance :D

Fans are inexpensive ($7 -25). Just add them as you need to control the temperature inside your case. I would add an additional intake fan, and then see how the temperatures are after a week or two. If the idle temperatures of your motherboard and CPU are in the 27 -32 C range, then you probably have enough fans. I would stick to 4-pin fans that you can control from your motherboard. Also I would recommend quiet fans ( less than 20 dBA) in the 1200 RPM range.

Is this a decent fan? https://pcpartpicker.com/part/cooler-master-case-fan-r4jfdp20prr1
Should I replace the stock fans or keep them, if keep, then where should I place the new fan? Here's my rig if you need it: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/7Nzyqs
Thanks again for the help :)

It is a decent fan. It isn't the quietest fan around. It is a good choice if you are looking for red LED's.

I would wait on replacing the fans until you have some experience with them. If they are quiet enough and do a good job cooling your case, there is no need to replace them.
