you don't need case fans, neither the CPU nor the GPU will produce enough heat.

is this your maximum budget?

1. Get an Intel i5 (Must)
2. DDR 4 compatible motherboard from Gigabyte/Asus/MSI/ (having solid caps/ vrm)
3. Get the 4GB AMD 380 instead of a 2GB 960 ( better DX 12 performance in future games + 4GB !!)
4. Any 7200Rpm HDD would do.. You can always add a SSD later

With an Intel i5, you'd b set for many years of gaming.

No point in buying a 2GB card nowadays.. More and more games (console ports) are running through that 2GB buffer. Will only increase with time..

Any 120mm case fan would do.. You can look into 1000RPM basic fans if you're looking for silent operation..

Happy winter gaming :))
