Your build will work, but I have some suggestions.

1. With a G3258, the builder should give it a decent overclock.
2. The TX3 cooler is not much better than the stock Intel cooler. A cm hyper212 will be better at a similar price.
And, it will come with adequate thermal paste.
3. WD seems to be a more reliable hard drive. Actually, I suggest you defer on the hard drive and starto with a SSD of 120-240gb. You can always add a hard drive later for storage.
4. 500w is right for a GTX960. Corsair is only middling quality. See of you can buy Seasonic, XFX, or antec.
5. What I like about the G3258 as a starter is that you have future cpu upgrade options to i3, i5, i7 or even broadwell.

not sure if you went ahead and did this already, but going for a SSD first would be the easier option. I started with a HDD and then had to clone everything over to my SSD and it was a mess (I didn't do a very good job). Its much easier to start with a SSD to run if nothing else, just windows off of, then adding a HDD is VERY easy later on
