I'm looking into building a gaming rig for around $1000. I've been researching for the past couple of weeks looking into parts and what not, and have come up with this build:

I'm pretty happy with the build, but still have a few questions:
1. Will the 500w PSU be enough for the build? PCPartPicker is saying it will use a maximum of 440w, which seems a little tight.
2. Will the Motherboard bottleneck any of my parts? I decided to go with the cheaper motherboard as it was recommended for many similar builds.
3. How many case fans should I use? The SPEC-2 has more than enough spots, I'm just not sure where and how many with the Hyper 212 on the i5.
Answers to the above and any further suggestions are greatly appreciated, thank you!
