Help please...

Hi there.
I'm a noob at computer hardware, and I want to assemble my own home PC.

I've checked up the internet so far, and I've got a few decisions on certain parts:
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ (not "Black Edition")
Motherboard: Asus M3N78 PRO Motherboard
HDD: Barracuda 7200.11 SATA 3GB/s 320-GB Hard Drive
Case: PowerUp ATX Black Mid-Tower Case

I was wondering:
What kind/how many cooling fans do I need?
Do I still need to buy a graphics card to play games like Crysis?
What kind of power supply should I be using?

A. With a system like that, the stock case/cpu fans should be sufficient (also depends on what graphics card you pick)

B. Yes. You need a graphics card to play just about any game period. (or at least with decent framerates)

C. PSU again depends on what kind of card you plan on getting. The standard included one with the case (it's included, right?) might work if you get a mid-range card (anything above mid-range is just going to get bottlenecked by that CPU)
