Hey there! I recently got into working/building pc's but am very new to the scene. I stumbled on this site today and I love the forums and forum community. Wanted to get some feedback before making any purchases. I will list my parts for the build here, if any of you with more experience notice any red flags please let me know! I tried looking in to each component and ensuring they were compatible with one another.Yet I'm still unsure as to if I will need to purchase additional SETA or other cables to complete the installation, or if they generally come with the parts when purchased. (I looked on the site where I intend to purchase to no avail)

Anyway, thanks in advance for any help.. it is appreciated!
Here is my ~$600 budget build:

You do not need that cooler, on that i3. 4gb ram is not enough these days. You need at least 8gb. That PSU is not a quality unit either.
