I am a newbie and this is my first build. I would like to know if I should change some parts, like the power supply, or add extra fans.

I also have another build.

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/ntqmbv

It is the same build with a different case.

Both builds have three fans, is that enough? And which build is better?

EDIT
: I made another build.

It is better but more expensive. Is this build worth it?

And, another one

Hey has it gone up by $700? Youre trading $$ for fancy colour when you could be getting better gear. Anyway, get what makes you happy.
Just so you know that ASUS pro gaming is black & red colour scheme too, it has red LEDs and a line that pulses or breathes red. (you can change it in BIOS)
Its more than $140 cheaper and top quality. With that $140 get the 850 evo 250gb drive back as your o/s along side the 500gb gaming drive and bank $20

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/XhjHXL look at that, a crapload better. its an extra $90 more than your one but theres a lot to work with regarding storage.

Thats O/S on a 250gb 850 evo, a 500gb 850 evo game / apps drive , and 2tb storage drive. vs a 480gb and 1tb drive. To bring it down we could remove one of the SSDs or go with a sandisk 480gb for game drive
oh also a 32" 1440p monitor vs a 24", a 980ti instead of a 980. i cannot emphasize enough how much better the system will be.

if 32" is too big (i thought that at first before i got mine but no, its great. I upped from a 27 to 32) and/or drop the price, go to a 27" 1440p. Forget 144hz nonsense.
