Buying parts next week and wanted to make sure this build looks good?

[ibroughtmoresnacks]

After lots of research I think I have come to my final choice for my first build ever. I wanted it to be able to play games 2014 and back and stay under $600 with taxes (I don't like rebates). I do want to be able to play Day Z and Arma III

This is the build http://pcpartpicker.com/p/JBT2Bm

I've seen a lot people recommend the G3258 as a good CPU and I have a Microcenter near me so I can take advantage of the bundle deal for $100. In June of next year i'm gonna upgrade to an i5. Don't know how to overclock, but I added a CPU cooler as I will research and learn what to do.

So does this look good?

For that budget, and with that combo deal, this is one of the few times I'd recommend a Pentium.

For literally $5 more, you can get the Antec 300, which is a superior case; I have used several and they are super easy to work with:

Can also pick that up refurbished directly from antec.com for $30 if you're comfortable with that.

I know you said you hate rebates, but here are two that are really, REALLY worth it ... Zalman 9900 CPU cooler for $25, it beats the dog crap out of the one on your list and even competes reasonably well with the high-end multi-fan big air coolers. Since you will want to overclock the hell out of that Pentium to get enough performance, the cooler is going to be important; you will want a good one. This has been known to reduce temperatures 10-15C immediately.

Also, a much, much better power supply for half the price:

It has a rebate, but even before that it's the same price as the one you have selected. People here will tell you to avoid the Corsair CX/Builder series, and rightly so. It is their budget line and not made the same as other Corsair units - cheap components that are known to die on you. That XFX one is top of the line, and a steal at that price too.

What about this cooler Cooler Master Evo 212? I put the other one in my build to save costs. I've heard people recommend this one a lot. I would definitely get this one if its a good option.

For $5 more dollars i'll get the Antec 300 then. I appreciate your help!

Yes it's a good cooler

Especially you will need the 212 cooler since no one will buy this Pentium not overclocking it. Expect squeezing 40% more performance out of that chip after overclocking.
