First time build

Yes, you can only connect 3 fans to the motherboard headers. You can use more fans though, just use standard 4-pin connections instead. Haveing the fans connected to the mobo is nice cause you can monitor RPMs. If you cut out the stamped grills for the fans on that case, it should be more than enough cooling. That depends on the fans you choose to use though.
 
ok, u mean dremel out a circle were the fan goes ? do 4 pin connectors come with the fan or is it a seperate buy, very tight on cash are squeeze fans ok? i'm thinking i only need to buy 2 fans. plus the cpu fan

If you look at the back of the case, the rear fans have a perferated grill. I think he means cut those out to allow for airflow.

My speeze fans came with both the 3 pin and 4 pin connectors. So they can be connected to either the mobo (3 pin) or the power supply (4 pin).

You can buy fans iwth either the 4 pin pass-thru connector (same as HD connector) or the 3-pin connector commonly used for CPU fans. But 2 case fans should be neough with that CPU and a mild overclock. My 2800+ is running at 3200+ and I have three very low rpm (900) case fans and it's fine.
