I'm really new to the building world and would like some experienced builders to look over what I've put together and let me know if I've done anything super wrong.
I've done a fair amount of research online but at the end of the day an experienced person is going to be much more help than a generic youtube clip.
Firstly as this is my first time and I am a uni student I want it to be a budget build capable of light gaming (LoL etc) and reasonably powerful - for its price. I also live in Australia so that has an impact on parts/prices. Here goes.

1) I chose that CPU as I will upgrade to an i5 as the build ages/when I get more money. Also it runs DDR3 1600 which the i5/7 does as well.
2) Starting with 4GB RAM may be a little stingy... I will upgrade at some stage but unsure whether I should go for the 8GB right off the bat. (1600 is way better than 1333 yeah?)
3) The case/PSU are a bit iffy. Way more power than I need and am unsure about going for separate case/PSU or a combo. I understand that a $30 combo is going to be horrible but surely a Coolermaster combo will be good quality? Or am I better off buying them separately?
Please feel free to let me know what you think/ what I could do differently. I don't know what I don't know unless experienced builders like yourself tell me.
Thanks so much for your help,
