Your case has:
Top: 1 x 140/120mm (1 x 120mm FN V2 Fans Included)
Rear: 1 x 120mm (1 x 120mm FN V2 Fan Included)
and slots for two (120mm) fans in the front.
I would get one extra fan AFTER the build is complete and notice high temperatures. Also why not get an evo 212 without LEDs and get a strix mobo? You will get RGB with the mobo and can add an led extension to make it look awesome. Unless you simply don't care about rgb or are on a tight budget.

BTW build looks great!! ;)

Only one extra fan? 140mm or 120mm? Any suggestions on which one?

Also, im getting the led 212 because i couldn't find the evo version anywhere where i live so I just decided to go with the led.
For the mobo, I just found one that was a LGA1511 socket and looked decent and went with it since i don't know much tech. :)

Both 140mm and 120mm fans will fit in your case at the front. Your current mobo will work great!! Only difference will be rgb lights. Have you considered the CRYORIG - H7 cooler? A bit expensive but waay better.

Looks great. You can save ~20$ more by buying non-rgb rams. Trident are a bit expensive from my personal pov. That is a great case and I have seen numerous builds using it. Looks like a solid build!
