Hey guys, Amazon is having a good sale on computer parts, and I was wondering what RAM and CPU Cooler should I get for this build?

What I will do on the pc:
1. Play games such as: CS GO, League of Legends, COD, and others.
2. Record gameplay(short clips for tutorials and stuff like that)
3. Overclock the Pentium


If you have any more recommendations for the build let me know.

Build:

well balanced rig

I added CM hyper evo for OCing, you can reach up to 4.5ghz. then changed mobo for appropriate OCing.
any 1600mhz will do well on gaming, I prefer evga supeclockked than asus for gtx 750 ti.
a 450w should be enough for OCing with 750 ti.

Does this build have upgrade potential for the future? I will take this build into serious consideration.

yeah for the mobo it supports broadwell gen, you might get i5 k 5th gen in the future.
get XFX 550(at least) / seasonic s12II 620w if you are looking to upgrade card in the future.

How would this build be performance wise? Also, the psu you selected would be good for this build?

for this budget it will be, 750 ti is excellent card for this kind of budget it can get hi settings 1080p at almost all of games. for the demanding games you might need to set medium settings, low details, no aa to get playable fps. with a good setup to OC up to 4.5ghz it will have big help to perform better on most of demanding games.
but if you can raise your budget a little bit, we can get r9 270x with XFX 550w, worthier than 750 ti.
