you still need a CPU cooler+fan, but it comes with the CPU, without fans your PC will slowly get hotter and at a certain time it will thermal throttle itself

CPU: Xeon 1230v3 - GPU: GTX 770  - SSD: 120GB 840 Evo - HDD: WD Blue 1TB - RAM: Ballistix 8GB - Case: CM N400 - PSU: CX 600M - Cooling: Cooler Master 212 Evo

the cpu comes with a cooler, they are fine providing you dont overclock. Cooler Master Hyper 212 is a good bet for the price I heard,

if a CPU fan is included you are good to go, but i can see that there is only one fan included with the case so you might as well buy 2 extra for better cooling inside

Get two or one 120 from the front and one 140 for the back of the case.

A quick search about your case shown that the case only accepts 120mm so only get two for the front and leave the included one at the back.

There is this well received 120mm fan from NZXT which you need two of: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00KJGYNW6/ref=mp_s_a_1_6?qid=1433104999&sr=8-6π=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70&keywords=Case+fan&dpPl=1&dpID=51E7B7TcNsL&ref=plSrch

Yep, I was looking for it but forgot its name. Just make sure it matches the colour scheme of your build. Get two 120mm of course as well.
