Should I add extra fans or change out stock

Huh, I tried to DIY it and it seems that $380 is a good price for that system. That i5 is good for some heavy gaming

 

I wouldn't trust that 240W PSU with a graphics card of any kind however (cheap FSP, no PFC, ew). Upgrade it for $25

Hi all,

New to the forum, started watching on youtube and totally felt confident to purchase a completed PC instead of building

Got the below and wondering if I should before use, change out stock fans or add a fan for cooling, will also add a R7 260X video card.  Tech at newegg told me rig should survive medium gaming quality

Why not build the pc yourself? Otherwise just leave the fans in it, i suppose.

not much you can do for that pc. 
just add one fan for rear exhaust
and if youre adding a gpu, then zip-tie a 120mm fan on the side panel mesh. as an intake
