Is this a good build im a pc noob?

Solution
This might be a bit better, plus you would be able to try your hand at overclocking down the road with the addition of a budget aftermarket cooler whereas you couldn't with the other setup. Plus, the cpu is a stronger performer and a bit faster RAM. But, that is a good build as well really.
