you should definetely get some fans, usually its just personal preference how many, but you do need some sort of airflow going on inside that case, your power supply does act as an exhaust fan, but i would recommend 1 or 2 fans blowing cool air in, usually through the front, and 1 or 2 blowing air out, usually out the back, and higher up(hot air rises).

due to my power supply not fitting right, i actually have a 4-in 2-out setup, which may not be all that great, i have yet to fire it up.
