Do I need another fan or some kind of CPU cooling system with this build and case? The case comes with only one preinstalled 120mm fan...I would also welcome any suggestions for the build (apart from GPU/RAM/SSD) as those have already been bought.

the cpu cooler packaged with the i5 you chose SHOULD work just fine since it will be running at stock speeds. just make sure you put some fans into any mounts that case has and you should have to worry about heat. that xigmatek case is pretty cool, but if you really don't need a microATX case, you could consider a full-size case for your build? .....but if you're going for a smaller pc, the case you chose looks like a pretty good pick.

if there are fan mounts at the front of the case for air intake, and mounts on the top for exhaust, i would consider getting some decent fans for them
