Hi , I juat wanna know how many fans do I need for my new pc , its specs are :
GTX 1060 with dual fans in it
Intel core i5-7600K with its fan
GIGABYTE LGA1151 Intel H110 Micro ATX DDR4 Motherboard GA-H110M
HyperX FURY Black 16GB Kit (2x8GB) 2133MHz DDR4 Non-ECC CL14 DIM
EVGA 500 B1, 80+ BRONZE 500W Power Supply
WD Blue 1TB SATA 6 Gb/s 7200 RPM 64MB Cache 3.5 Inch
125GB ssd
and my case is
Corsair Carbide Series SPEC-M2 MicroATX Gaming Case with one 120mm fan
 
Solution
You need to add one 120mm fan to the back.
The 7600K does not come with a cooler and the board will probably need a BIOS update to use the processor.
Low quality PSU.
Get the 7500 / 7600 CPU with a B250 board.
I would look at the Corsair CXM 450 or 550 watt PSU.

Solution
According to the Corsair website that case comes with just one 120mm front fan.
I'd at least add one rear fan and an additional front intake (3 fans, 2 front intake, 1 rear exhaust).
As Zerk2012 points out the 'K' series processors have no cooler supplied and with a 'B' series motherboard it'll be cheaper all round to use a non 'K' part.
And also consider the power supply swap.

The B1 is cheap crap, the cxm 450 and 550 are a ner version of the crap ones and are better quality.
