Should be a nice smooth setup.

Yeah those are nice fans. I am thinking of replacing them with some RGB ones (either Thermaltake Riings or Corsair RGBs) to compliment my NZXT Hue+ and the RGB lighting on the Designare.
 


Seems like that pentium does well on air cooling, I'm iffy about the fps part of it doesn't look too promising on a smooth ride.
When you get it built up, use his onboard video and see how it does before switching over to his main gpu.

OK good to know. Right now all my spare money is going toward getting a new laptop since my Lenovo is on its' last legs. I'm looking at HP, MSI, and Gigabyte right now, leaning very heavily on the HP Spectre X360 with a 1TB SSD and 16GB of RAM.

Waiting on HD 600s to upgrade the HD 598s. I've had the 598s for about 3 years so it was time. UPS is late, they were supposed to be here today.

Edit: New cans finally got here.
