A case should have two fans minimum, 1 for intake and 1 for exhaust. I find it odd that your case has only one exhaust fan and no intake especial if it is a gaming PC case because one has to take into an account of how hot the GPU and CPU are going to be running when playing games for long extended periods of time.

That's fine. Got a link to this said Heatsink and fan?

That is true CPU fans are very simple to install because most of the attachments are universal and standardized. Case fan maybe be easy or a pain depending on how the manufacture of the case decides to design it.
Here the idle temperatures for my CPU and GPU along with their fan speeds.
