Do I need more fans in my case?

First, since you're buying a i5-7500 cpu, just use the stock cooler that comes with it. Since you can't overclock it, there's no need to buy Cryorig cooler. It looks like the case comes with an intake fan and an exhaust fan. This should be adequate. Build it up and monitor the temps. If it's running warm add an additional intake fan in the front.

On another note - why do you have 2x120gb ssd's in that build ?? Not a sensible configuration at all.
Use a singular 240gb+

The MX 300 actually gives you more space (275gb)
Dump the cooler , get 16gb ram in there.
Consider the deepcool kendomen for a red/black case option (it comes with 5 fans & a fan controller)

Oh, the extra ssd was for someone else, I am only planning on using one for my build.

Would the 5 fans on the kendomen case be loud/distracting?

Also, are there any cool white cases that have good cooling that you recommend?

You seemed to be going red/black mate which is why I pointed the kendomen.

White cases ?? Similar budget to the corsair spec is the zalman r1

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/gt8H99/zalman-case-r1white

Not an incredible case but nice enough , 3 fans more installed , fan controller aswell & a hinged front panel to cover optical drive bays.

Very good value for money (especially at those current prices) & easy to build in.

The z9 neo is one of my favourites but a higher price range.

You've then got the phantrks p400 & p409s range which are amazing quality wise but more expensive again

Would the current case on my list (corsair) I have right now have adequate cooling if I didn't buy a cooler and used the stock cooler? Or should I buy a cooler if I plan to get the corsair?
