I was making a build on pcpartpicker and was wondering how many case fans I may need. This is my first time and I'd rather be safe than sorry. Here is my build:

CPU
Intel - Core i7-6700K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor

CPU Cooler
Rosewill - RCX-Z300 CPU Cooler

Motherboard
MSI - B250M GAMING PRO Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard

Memory
G.Skill - Ripjaws V Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR4-2133 Memory

Storage
ADATA - Ultimate SU800 128GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Western Digital - Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive

Video Card
MSI - GeForce GTX 1050 2GB GAMING X 2G Video Card

Case
Corsair - Carbide SPEC-04 (Black/Red) ATX Mid Tower Case

Power Supply
EVGA - 430W 80+ Certified ATX Power Supply

Case Fan
Corsair - CO-9050016-RLED 52.2 CFM 120mm Fan(Twin Pack)

Will the 2 case fans be enough? I will be mostly gaming with this build if that matters.

Also, while your at it I would greatly appreciate any tips about this build any of you may have, thanks.

It is not really a must. For air cooling 2 in the front and 1 in the back will suffice. If your using a 240mm radiator, putting it the front pushing or pulling air in, is best. With a fan in back and 2 on top.

I personally though have 2 fans in front pushing air in. My 240mm rad up top pushing air out and one fan in the back pushing air out. I only did it this way because My Fractal Design C is short length wise, and the rad would not fit in front because of the size of my video card. Still at load I average around 65c. Upper 20s at idle.
