How many fans should my soon to be bought PC case have?

[3-2 Bravo]

I am planning on buying a PC, and these are the specs for the PC I want:

CPU - Intel Core i5-6500: http://amzn.to/2cQKIZp
MOBO - MSI H170M Pro: http://amzn.to/2cmewRL
RAM - Corsair 3000MHz C15: http://amzn.to/2cQKLUR
GPU - Gigabyte 1060 Windforce OC: http://amzn.to/2cAoknm
STORAGE - WD 1TB 7200 RPM: http://amzn.to/2ddQpli
PSU - EVGA 600W B1 80+ BRONZE: http://amzn.to/2cOAkmj

The case I am hoping to buy and be compatible with my PC is this one: https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Carbide-SPEC-01-Tower-Ga...

Will that case and the amount of fans it has be compatible with my PC and keep it healthy? I will place my PC under my desk kinda close to the wall. Thanks!

Can't see the case thru that link but that whole system should be running pretty cool so a standard one intake front fan and a rear exhaust would be enough.

Usually 2 intakes in front and 1 exhaust at rear, imo.

I had that case before. There are a total 5 fan mounting locations: 2x 120mm or 140mm fans in front intake, 2x 120mm fans in top exhaust, and 1x 120mm fan in rear exhaust. When I bought it, it came with just 1x 120mm LED Fan at the front intake. I removed that and placed in at the rear exhaust. I bought 2x Corsair AF 140mm Performance Edition for the front intake and 2x Corsair AF 120mm Quiet Edition for the rear exhaust, to still maintain a "positive" airflow.

Note that if you put 5 total case fans (+1 including the CPU cooler fan), the fan headers of your motherboard (H170M PRO-DH) will not be enough as it only has 1x CPU Fan header (for your CPU cooler fan) and 2x Chassis Fan headers (for the rest of your case fans). You can use a splitter/fan hub to connect 2-3 fans and another splitter/fan hub to connect the other 2-3 fans.

Just make sure that if you are going to install more than 1 fan in 1 header, the total current draw (amperes) of all the fans connected to that single header via fan hub or splitter will not exceed 1A. Note that usually, depending on the fan model, the current draw per fan ranges from ~0.15A to ~0.35A (it is usually written in the fan or box itself).
