I'm currently building a new PC on PCPartPicker and I did my best to do what I can picking the parts. I'm not an expert as picking the parts, so I need some help!

This is what I have so far: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Manikk/saved/Wqm2FT

My budget is around 500-600$ and I'm already in my budget and I still need some parts. I will be using this computer for daily internet surfing, homework and games, mainly Minecraft.

With that information, I was wondering if someone could help me and let me know if my parts will be good or if I should change something.

I also need a CPU Cooler and I don't know what to pick for that so please help me in that.

If there's any other information or anything you guys need to know to help me, feel free to ask me and ill do my best to reply as soon as possible! Thanks! - Manik

760k doesn;t need a cooler only when overclocking heavily so you can add that later.

So far it looks good, make sure everything is compatible though, I bought all my parts from ebay. I have a sadion 120v water coolant on my cpu it's cheap and effective got my cpu down from 68c on air to 34c on water so it works well, make sure your gpu doesn't need more wattages also. You may also bottleneck that gpu also with that core. That's all I can say for that build at the minute

Just to say your spending way to much of your budget on the case and a i3 will give you better performance. Also a very low quality power supply with only a 3 year warranty.
Your locking yourself into a FM processor with no upgrade path.
