Hey guys, I'm planning on building my first gaming computer but have never attempted to build a computer before so I was wondering if I could get some advice before I purchase everything. I'm on a bit of a tight budget but I was thinking about getting:

Again, I am completely new to this so all suggestions/modifications are welcome.
However, I also have two questions:
1. I'm not really sure how which/how many fans to buy. Any suggestions?
2. If I buy EVERYTHING listed there (except for keyboard, mouse, fan and speakers) will I have everything I need to build and use the computer? I don't want to order everything and then realise that I can't finish putting it together because I should have bought a certain wire/connector.
Thanks for your help
