Yeap, for the budget the system looks good to me. What about a grpahics card? I would also recommend buying an SSD.

You can get rid of that aftermarket CPU cooler since your processor is a non-K which means no overclocking, so you wouldn't need anything more than the stock cooler.

Also you should get a GTX 960

 

[Brandon_17]

EVGA Geforce GTX 660 for $100 used? Or just buy a new 960?

 

[Guest]

Get a new one, i'd never buy a used Graphics Card since you have no idea what the previous owner made it do

EVGA Geforce GTX 660 for $100 used? Or just buy a new 960?

It really depends on the games you play and your budget. The 960 is a refresh model of the 660, offering relatively better performance, but for $200+ dollars I would go for the 660. The 960 will soon be an outdated card (prob. by next year) so stick with 660 for the time being.

a new 950 is maybe a better price/performance than a 960.
I see you don't have a GPU, is your total budget about 500 dollars?
if so:

http:// Good deal?

no, its a couple generations old. I really don't recommend buying old, used computer parts. You have no idea if it will work, and you are paying good money for old equipment in an industry that moves fast. If you want to spend $250 on a video card get an r9 290:
