I want to build a PC for gaming. I used PC part picker, because a youtube video recommended it, but he said it is not always correct, and i know that a while back the company said that they can not tell if the wires are to short depending on the size of the case. I do not know if that has changed, but i want to be extra sure, because i have never done this before, and it all seems very expensive, and i don't have very much money, so it would be very sad to order the wrong parts. The part picker says it has no incompatibilities found, but i don't know very much so i am not sure i will list all of the parts, and any help at all would be appreciated.

CPU:AMD - A8-9600 3.1 GHz Quad-core processor
CPU Cooler:MSI - CORE FROZR L 71.3 CFM
Motherboard:MSI - B350 PC MATE ATX AM4
Memory:Corsair - Vengeance LPX 4GB (1 x 4GB) DDR4-2400(Not sure if this is enough memory but please let me know)
Storage:Western Digital - Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM
Video Card:Gigabyte - GeForce GT 1030 2GB Low Profile
Case:BitFenix - Aurora White ATX Mid Tower Case(Not sure if this is a good case it has no ratings, but it looked nice, so if you have any better, and cheaper suggestion let me know.
Power Supply:SeaSonic - EVO Edition 620W 80+ Bronze Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply
Operating System:Microsoft - Windows 10 Pro OEM 64-bit

So that is everything. i pretty much picked the best budget items, but i made sure to not cheap out on the graphics card, which is the whole reason i want a new PC. The total cost is 633.35, and my budget was just around 600 so i want keep it their, but any better suggestions will help, and maybe tips on building it.Please tell me if something would do better with some different components, and tell me how well this will perform.I am open to any suggestions so if you respond then thank you

CPU weak
Ram too small
Gpu weak
Case is poor quality.
Win10 home is good enough

Power...
The CPU is old and out-dated and the video card is bottom end. Don't buy these. Take a look at a couple of the fair tier builds on this site: http://www.logicalincrements.com/. These would differently be better then the what you've chosen. Add $100 for Windows and you'll be at your $600 price point. Also, look at the $500 build here for more/better component ideas: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/best-pc-builds,4390.html

I matched the components above except for the case, because i really like the look of the window case so i picked this.NZXT - S340 (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case. So i would like to know if this is a good option if not is there a good window case i could get, and also this might sound like i am stupid, but i just started to get interested in this world.I noticed that the graphics card has one port on it, and i would like to understand that so if you can reply back that would be great, and thanks for the help.And also i forgot to mention the CPU cooler is it not there because i don't need one i would also like to know more about that.
 


if you look carefully it has three ports


what looks like hdmi, displayport, and dvi
 


S340 is a good case, I am using it right now :) I used SPEC-01 to keep the cost less than 633 😉
second above, gpu has 3 ports.
 


Also do i need a cpu cooler, because it is not there in the components you included.Also i am watching some youtube videos at the moment and what is the deal with wifi on these components, because at the moment i am on an old computer that is refurbished and did not have built in wifi so i went to bestbuy and something that i bought(I forget the actual name) plugs in from a usb to connect so i was just wondering, and i probably won't build anything until around june, but do you have any tips for building, and if anything is difficult, but i'm sure i will figure it out by the time i order or even build anything.
