Hello Ajaz Ahmed,

here are my suggestions for your build.

Motherboard: Asus motherboard is fine.
Ram: Take corsai 8GB kit of 2 (4x2). Your memory will be faster that way and make sure it's CL9. CL9 is faster than CL10.
PSU: Pick Corsair CS650M. It will have Modular cables and it will be easier to manage all cables.
Aftermarket cooler : Cooler master will be fine.
HDD: Pick Western Digital Caviar black. It will be faster than Seagate.

All best,
Randor.

So AMD Phenom II 560 Processor would be all okay with it or is there any better AMD Processor i could go with.

You stated,that you'll change your CPU in 3 months. For now,it's fine. Of course,it's always better to change it. Well,you didn't mention anything about what GPU you're using.

EDIT: AMD CPU is fine,if you're Overclocking it. If you're not Overclocking,pick Intel CPU. You'll get more performance per dollar.

Best regards,

Also Someone referred about Overkilling my RIG with higher PSU.

Any idea what it means

You can't " overkill " your RIG with Corsair CS650M. If you would have '' Intel Pentium 4 ",then yes,it would be over-kill.

Overkill - more than needed.
