My case i am going to get is corsair carbide spec-01, graphics card is GTX 770 and and Intel i3 6100.

Is the front intake fan that comes with the case + one added fan at the back as exhaust enough? Or will I need more

Thanks in advance

Remember, fans = noise. Use as few as necessary to keep your components cool within specifications.

My suggestion... Start with what you have.

If that doesn't keep your components within temperature specifications, add another in front (maybe another matching LED fan?). In just about every case, you're going to want more fans pulling air in than pushing air out by which you create a positive pressure situation. The drive cage will interrupt a lot of the airflow from a second intake fan, but it will still add to the pressure.
