I am planning on building a computer for my brothers son, my nephew. He is only about 8 years old at the moment, and he really enjoys playing wow. He currently is using one of their older computers that only has like a p4 and some 8880 gt that I just gave to him because I have about 3 of them that I don't use anymore. So for his birthday I was planning on giving him a new computer that would play wow and lol good. I was originally looking at the 760k and a fm2+ motherboard but then I looked at some benchmarks and saw wow performed really well on the unlocked Pentium, So this is the build that I have so far.

I know the power supply is overkill but it was the cheapest one that I could find from a brand and model that I could trust, plus I would like to be able to buy him an i5 4690k and a z97 motherboard down the road, along with a video card upgrade later on probably from his dad. I also have a spare coolermaster evo cooler to help with the temps while overclocking, just wondering if this build will work.
