Solution
-will perform great with games
-everything will fit fine
-no extra fans
-wont affect gaming

you don't need the 212 evo since you selected a non overclocking processor. the one in the box with the processor is fine.

you will need a better power supply. sentey is not a reliable brand. pick tier 1 or 2 from here:

It's a good build, however swap your power supply for an EVGA SuperNOVA 750w power supply instead. I have never heard of a brand named Sentey and it's a common beginner mistake to cheap out on the power supply. If your power supply fails it could damage your entire system so that's why buying from a reputable brand like EVGA is very important

Yes, everything will fit in the case, and you don't need extra fans, the ones that come with the case should be enough, but you are more than welcome to add extra fans if you like
The motherboard does not impact gaming in any way, the only thing you will be sacrificing in a cheaper motherboard is features
 


i'll change it then ...thanks again
 


I'll change the psu then ...thank u for ur time
 
their low end power supplies are not good. avoid VS/CS/CX series for gaming, especially with an r9 390x. their medium to high end power supplies are generally overpriced, but good. everyone makes the mistake of buying their low end stuff. most people don't know how to select a proper psu.

look at the link i gave you. dont cheap out on your psu. tier 1 or tier 2. here it is again.
