gtx 750 is a beast for how much it consumes the only part that i would change in this setup will be the cpu and mobo, go intel dude lower temps and lower power consumption and more performance and the prices are not so big.

personally i prefer Smorizio's build - but what i'd suggest you do is save for another month or two, scrap the pentium and throw an I5 straight into it. You'll be grateful for the quadcore. To get the best out of the pentium CPU you'll need to overclock which as a first time builder - i wouldnt really recommend.
