Not as powerful as my last, but still good enough for gaming + about $100 cheaper.
I kept overclocking because this build is going to last you for a long time and over time your hardware will become obsolete. Overclocking will keep it viable even when others fail. And who doesn't want more power??

120GB is more than enough for OS, but if you get 240 you can even put some online games on it too.

Just for consideration, could save some money by not overclocking the system: i5 7600 (-$50); no cooler (-$60), lower end MB (maybe B250) (-$60), and maybe bit smaller but still Gold PSU (-$20).

What monitor do you have? Overclocking the above list from GE420 wouldn't do much for you if you're at 1080p or 60hz.

Just food for thought.

H60 is a poor cooler a low end air cooler will outperform it.
