What do you guys think of these specs?
Is there anything bottle-necking other components?
If so, what should I upgrade?
Are there better alternatives to the listed parts? (In the same price range)

Any suggestions are appreciated!

the 1155 mb and parts been end of life for a bit. if you have to stay under a set cost then look at an i3 for now. then when you have the funds look at a i5. also in a few weeks (aug 5) intel droping there newer skylake cpu so the older cpu haswell may drop a few bucks when vendor like micro center try to clear out there old stock.

"the 1155 mb and parts been end of life for a bit. "What do you mean by this? Also the cpu I listed is an i5 and why would I want to swap it for a i3?
Thanks for responding!

end of life means the vendors have stop making that part as a newer part has replaced it. when that happens the cost sometime goes up more then a newer part would. the older parts at some point you wont be able to replace them if they fail..look online for the older z77 gaming mb there not to may listed on amazon or newegg if they are there costly. the i3/i5 are the same cpu but the i3 has two cores the i5 has 4. some people use g3258 or the i3 for cost when there low on build funds then replace the cpu when they do have the funds to do so.
