Just recently I sold my gaming desktop for $600 on eBay. The thing served me well for the past 2 years. It had an big old r9 290, 16 gb ram, i5-4690, and a toshiba 2tb hard drive. I started to lose interest in gaming these past couple of months so I didn't really need the i5 and the r9 290 performance. And the machine was SOOOOOO obnoxiously loud. So, I sold it and in return, I have about $540 (ebay charges 10 percent of the final sale cost) and this is what I'm going to useto build a new desktop, one that's quiet and fast.
With a budget of $540, I need a desktop that's quiet, like no noise at all when I'm just web browsing, fast startup wise (so ssd, but I won't need to much space), has good integrated motherboard sound (something my ath-M50s can appreciate), and has just enough performance for me to play an e-sport game every once in a while or do a little bit of photoshop or gimp.
So far I have this build:

I'm not including the rebate price discounts and I'll be getting windows for $20 from kinguin or something.
Is the case good enough? I think that the single fan in the front will be okay, as I'll have the psu serving as an exhaust. Also, I'm pretty sure the components I selected are all pretty cool, so air flow won't be too important. I'm not sure though.
Is the power supply good enough? It's a good brand, but I don't know if something so bare bones will suffice.
Would I be good with this build as a whole?
Thanks
