My budget for this pc is $600
I have a mouse and keyboard and an OS.

Here are the questions I have...
How will this computer do with demanding games?

Do I need a CPU cooler?

Do I need a better motherboard?

Is there anything I can do to greatly increase my pc but still stay around my budget?

How will this build be overall?
 
Solution
If you don't O/C, you won't need an aftermarket cooler. But the stock cooler can get a bit noisy when it ramps up. The build looks great for $600. Should have no problem gaming at 1080p at high settings in today's games.
