[SOLVED] is it okay to not have any case fan?

Hello, this if my first time making pc and i was thinking to make a budget pc gaming rig.

This is the spec

Gigabyte GA-A320M-S2H-V
AMD Ryzen 3 3100 - with stock cooler
GEFORCE GTX 1650 SUPER VENTUS XS OC / GTX1650 Super 4GB
RAM KINGSTON HYPERX FURY DDR4 8GB 2666MHz
PSU Corsair CX550 500W 80+ Bronze
WD Black 3.5 Inch 1TB

My brother has an old case that unfortunately have no case fan. So i was thinking does my spec really need a fan or not really? because tbh im in a really tight budget so if it does need a fan ,im going to delay the build. Thank you

Yes, your case really does need cooling fans in order to move the air through the case. Otherwise, hot air will accumulate inside and thus, your components heat up. When they get too hot, the limit functionality or shut down.

Owhh okay. Sorry to bother but is 1 fan is enough or do i have to buy 2 for intake and outtake?

I'd recommend a minimum of two (1 intake/1 exhaust). You might get away with just one exhaust, but then, if it's not sufficient, you might be just throwing away your already limited budget.

14cm fans make less noise than 12cm.
bigger spins less for equal amount of blow. less rpm translates to less noise.
