The build looks good. I would not spend money on fans until after you get your case. If gaming is the primary focus you could actually drop the GPU to a 670 and upgrade your SSD to a 256GB model. 1866 RAM will not be of use and will actually be warranty-voiding, so you will need to drop that to 1600, and 8GB is plenty for most uses. I think I would also get a different power supply - try the Corsair TX750 or the Seasonic S12 II 620W.
