I don't see a video card, and you probably don't need to spend extra money on a water cooler if you are not overclocking.
The i7 is good as long as you make sure all the programs you use can utilize the extra threads. If not, you can save over $100 and get an i5.

Even for "light gaming" you'd want a video card, Radeon 7770 or R7 250X is good, and if you take out the water cooler and the i7 CPU you can get it within your budget.
