I am completely new to computer building, so I would like some advice on the parts I am getting. I have a budget of ~ $1200, so I would like to get the best, most efficient parts. This is meant to be a gaming PC, so I would like to run most/all games (Fallout 4, GTA 5, etc) at full settings 60fps.

Here's a link to my build. I haven't done a whole lot of research, so I am open to changing up parts. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Q3pfwP

Does my power supply have a high enough wattage for my gaming? Do my CPU and GPU work well together? Will this case work and what/ how many case fans should I get?

I would like to start purchasing parts in about 2 weeks.

Overall looks pretty good but instead of buying 16gb of ram I would buy 8gb since games do not really need that much ram. And I think you will be just fine with 2 intake and 2 exhaust fans, but pick a good ones. I recommend getting EK vardar fans. I think they are pretty awesome even better than my previous noctua and corsair fans. And with savings from ram I would definitely pick a better quality power supply. 600w is enough but cx-series doesn't present very good quality Here is the list of psu tiers, I would pick one from tier1 or tier2 (your current psu is in tier4 which ones you should avoid) http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html
