I would like to know if any improvements could be made to this build or entirely

Remove the CPU cooler, get cheaper, faster RAM, RX470/RX570 instead of RX460, and a bit more powerful PSU for 'ultimate budget gaming PC', as 'Hardware Unboxed' calls it.

there is no need for the 212 and AS5. use the stock heatsink. Also buying that ram in a matched set is cheaper and guarantees compatibility. There was no price on the PSU so not sure oif the total budge but here's what I came up with.

Thank you so much!
This was a lot more quicker than I thought!

Buy the RAM in a matched set. Although the make and model is the same. There can be slight differences or origins of manufacture.

There is no need for the CPU cooler and those Cooler Masters are outdated. Unless you want it to keep things quiet. Arctic Silver 5 is also obsolete. Kryonaut Thermal Grizzly and a Be Quiet! Pure Rock would be a better combo. Although the default thermal paste for the Be Quiet! Pure Rock is plenty for that CPU.

Those Hybrid drives are a waste. Very little performance gain as the SSD Cache is so small. You are better off with a separate SSD and HDD. If you really like the idea of a Hybrid Drive. Get a motherboard with a Z270 chipset. Then you can use Intel's Smart Response Technology to build a real hybrid drive. Using a 120GB SSD for the cache. Then it will be very effective. As that 120GB cache will cover Windows, frequently used programs and the a whichever game you are currently playing. I think 120GB is the limit for cache size. Unless Intel increased it.

The GeForce GTX 1050 2GB is faster than the Rx 460. The price is about the same.

Knowing your budget and requirements would be helpful. Given your CPU Cooler, case and PSU. I assume you want it quiet. Is there a limitation on stores?

Are there any improvements that can be made to this?

Everything looks good. This is just my personal opinion, but I'd throw in a HyperX EVO 212. It's a very nice air cooler that will go well with the system for only 25USD more. However, it's not necessary for that, because even under load, the G4560 doesn't need a hefty cooler.

For a Pentium G? You don't need anything more than the stock cooler if you're not overclocking.So you don't need a cooler or the thermal compound, the stock cooler is sufficient enough. Plus the OP is in Canada, and CAD =/= USD.

You're right, but the reason I said he should get an EVO is because if he decides to upgrade to a different CPU later on, he won't have to buy one later. And, even though they're generally reliable, a stock cooler isn't precisely something I'd love to keep on my build. Pentium G or otherwise. With an LGA1151 socket, he could move to i3, i5 or i7 6xxx Skylake or 7xxx Kaby Lake at any time, and having a stock as your first option isn't an optimal choice. Of course, it's his own choice, and in all reality, you don't need more than a stock cooler for a Pentium G.

Just an FYI. The Be Quiet! Pure Rock outperforms and is quieter than the Hyper 212 Evo. It is about the same price, sometimes cheaper. The Cryorig H7 is also quieter and performs better. It is usually slightly more expensive.
