I'm looking to build a new "gaming" pc. This is the build I currently have planned:

Seagate Barracuda 2TB ST2000DM001

MSI Radeon R9 290 Gaming 4GB

Intel Core i5 4690

ASRock H97M-ITX/AC Mini ITX Motherboard

Corsair CX-500 V3 Power Supply

Corsair Carbide Air 240 Black Mini Cube Case

Kingston Hyper X Fury HX316C10FRK2/8 8GB (2x4GB) Red

Kingston SSDNow V300 120GB SSD

Basically, will this machine be able to run new games at a decent fps? Do I need any form of cooling/aftermarket fans, if so which should I choose (preferably cheap-ish)? Is there anything wrong, such as bottle necking, lack of compatibility etc? Are there any improvements/replacements that you suggest?

Thank you in advance!

First off, what is your budget and location? What kind of games are you planning to play? AAA games or less demanding indie games or both?
