Does my specs look good for my first computer I'm buying, and do I need to add anymore fans?
I am creating a new computer from microcenter, but I'm not sure how many fans I should get in my pc. The NZXT H510 Flow case has two free included fans listed in the description, but I am not sure where they will be located since I am having a pro builder install them for me. Should I get two more 120mm fans since then I can have two in the front, one on top, and one in the rear or is there a different way I should have them done? Also if it's alright would someone consider looking at these specs and let me know whether they are good parts for a gaming computer? I've matched them together on PCPartPicker so I am sure they are compatible with each other, although I'm just not sure if I should get any more fans other than the two free ones included with my case. If I should get two more fans for my computer, which ones should I add for my case?

Hey, your build looks pretty solid. a couple more fans wouldn't hurt it, but I don't think it'll be mandatory.

The two included fans will be installed one in front blowing inward and one in the rear blowing outward.
There are space for two fans in the front, so it may look kinda sad with just one there? But it is not required, of course.

Filling up fan slots does always make the computer look better.
