Hi,
I have a CoolerMaster CM Force 500 PC case with a i7-7700 CPU and a Gigabyte B250 motherboard (GA-B250M-DS3H)
The power supply is CoolerMaster 500W B500, and I have LG Sata DVD drive.
the cpu fan is: CPU - ALPINE 11 REV2 ARCTIC
graphics card: gtx 1060 Gigabyte xtreme - 6gb
and 16 GB RAM (kingston hyperx fury, 2400 mhz)
I have one ssd SAMSUNG 850 evo (250GB) and one 1TB Western Digital blue hard drive.
The case come with one pre installed fan (Rear Exhaust)
Is this build good?
Do I need to install more fans on this system or is it suffient to cool it?

One would be technically sufficient to keep everything operating within the manufacturers temperature specifications. Unless you want your CPU and GPU to sound like a jet on takeoff. I'd add some more fans. Arctic F12 PWM with PST are good budget fans. You can get a 5pack for cheap. They are quite, have good airflow and higher static pressure. Generally you would do front/bottom/sides intake and rear/top exhaust.

You really want a fan in the front blowing on the SSD and hard drive. While the temperature will be within specifications. Heat reduces and SSD lifespan considerably. As a detailed study of Carnegie Mellon University on Facebooks SSD infrastructure concluded.

I'd say at least 2 fans in the computer. Be sure to be able to control there fan speeds though usually software or a PWM outlet (splitter).

I have never rocked a fan for my HDD & SSD just because I never feel the need for it, since they never get extremely warm.
