Everything looks nice. Make sure that EVGA PSU is G1 or G2 series(model), you could even consider buying 750W for future upgrades that might be more power hungry so you can keep PSU in the future.

Thank you for your help! Do I need a cpu cooler? I was adding components to my cart at the site you recommended, part picker and looked at the reviews for my MOBO: it said the BIOS is not very good. That doesn't sound good. Is there another MOBO you can suggest that will work with my other components. It gets so confusing!
 


You will only need a CPU cooler if your CPU ends with a "K" (meaning it's capable of overclocking). Thus, your i5-6500 will not need a CPU cooler.
 


 


the g1 series are thrash
the g2 series are indeed ebtter than the gs series but gs series are still an excellent pick and it was far cheaper than the g2 series in my country.

so if its 20 dollars or 10 dollars cheaper than the g2 pick the gs, i own the 650gs personally and im very ahppy with it.
 


o ye my bad, I meat GS or G2 series... anything from these models will be good because they are excellen quality
