With the AIO you should have ample cooling for the 5600x.
Build looks pretty solid from what you’ve shared, but we can offer some advice if you would like us to.
Thanks for the info!

Essentially, I do not need extra fans for the case? And while I am at it, would you say this is a solid build for around a 1.4k budget?

I'm a little wary of the default case fan setup on the 4000D. It has one intake fan and one exhaust fan. With the two exhaust fans on the AIO, you end up with one intake and three exhausts, which isn't great for dust buildup in the case, as it creates a certain amount of negative air pressure, sucking air in from unfiltered parts of the case. If it was my computer, I would move the rear exhaust fan and make it an intake fan instead to give a balanced two-in-two-out setup. This is a very simple move that needs no more tools than a Philips screwdriver and ten minutes' work. If you send a note to PCS, they may even do it for you.

The rest of the build looks good, though I would switch to the Intel SSDs as they are the same price. I'd also up the power supply to 850W, to give you room for future upgrades and probably making the PSU silent in the meantime.

In short, I would say that you don’t need extra fans. But if you could please post your full spec, and let us know what you are using the PC for, then we can see if there are any other optimisations possible.
