Should I need more fans on this PC?

I just ordered a new PC which should arrive in the next few days. The only part I am planning to overclock is the GPU. Here are the specs:

 

Intel Core i5 4460 (tray)

8GB HyperX Fury 1600mhz RAM

MSI H81M-P33

1TB Western Digital Caviar Blue

256GB Crucial MX100 SSD

Zotac GTX 960 4GB

Antec Six Hundred Case

Antec Neo-Eco 450W 80+ Bronze PSU

Zalman CNPS5X CPU Cooler

 

The case already has one rear mounted 120mm fan and a 200m fan on the top. Should I need more fans in order to keep a safe temperature?

He didn't ask for insults on his planned system, he is wanting to know whether he needs more fans. Sit down boi. Oh and no you don't.

I needed to skimp out a bit on the board in order to fit in an i5 and GTX 960, but I wouldn't call it garbage. From both user and professional reviews, it's proven itself to be reliable, as well has having enough features for me.

 

The PSU is more than enough to run an i5 and GTX 960, as both are extremely power efficient. I have encountered people even running a GTX 960 on a 450W PSU.

Nah, even if you OC the 960 to the max it wont make anything toasty. Same goes for the CPU. You just need to have one intake and one exhaust- you'll be safe.

Thanks for the tip!

h81 boards are built very cheaply..and often have weird problems and issues and often die prematurely

if you needed to save some...should have went with a B85 board

they are more made for office pc's and are built pretty well for the prices

 

wattage isn't the only thing you look at when buying a psu

build quality and component quality is a MAJOR thing in psu's

I am purchasing from a professional builder, and the computer comes with warranty. The parts you specified have a 3 year warranty in the case something happens.

 

As for the power supply, you're the first and only person telling me that it has quality issues. Everywhere I look on the web both this PSU and Antec others are receiving praise.

 

As for the motherboard, if it dies prematurely and the warranty doesn't cover anything, it shouldn't be too much of a problem... I currently don't have enough money to buy a B85 or H97 motherboard, but in a few months I should. 

 

Also, I cannot delay the purchase in order to fit in a better motherboard. My current PC (a 4 year old laptop) is close to death and I need something else now.
