Not bad at all. That system should run fine, and all of the parts are good quality.

I would tend to make one modification, though.

My suggestion is to get a larger SSD. 240GB is the minimum that most people should use, so that they don't have to keep watching how much free space is on the system. It doesn't cost that much more. You can get a Crucial BX200 240 GB SSD for the same money, or spend another $20 to get the 250GB Samsung 850 EVO. Crucial makes very reliable drives, but the Samsung one would be a little faster.

Thank you very much this is my first pc so did a lot of research but needed another opinion on everything and i probably will just spend the extra $20 for the bigger Samsung SSD. Another question, do i need any case fans other than the ones provided with the case?

No, you should be fine. The Corsair case comes with two fans, and that should work fine for most people. If you live somewhere that gets pretty hot (like 90F or 32C), then more fans would help - but otherwise it will work great as is.

If you do want to get more fans, the Corsair A120 fans have the same red LEDs in them and are inexpensive:

If you do get extra fans, you should probably use fan splitters to reduce the number of fan headers that you plug into your motherboard. That way you could still use one plug for the front fans (your case can have up to two) and one plug for the top fans (another two can be there). Here is a link to a splitter that I have used before:

Good luck!
