So I think this will be my final build, but I would like some input. This will be my first time building a pc and I am a college student on a really low budget so changes can be made but I would prefer not to go too much over this. I will be using my computer for gaming ( LOL, DayZ, Total War:RomeII, The Walking Dead season 2, etc.. games that aren't too big) school, youtube, and internet surfing. I plan on using this computer for 1-2 years then building a stronger one. So will this build do me justice for what I want to use it for and the length of time?

Here is a fairly high-end gaming box for close to your budget. May need this for OS too (click link).

A major upside of it is that you can upgrade the CPU and the GPU to something much more powerful (esp if you upgrade to the 600w PSU later on) - lots of room to upgrade for several years.

If you are a student, you can probably get windows for free or really cheap from your school and save a few dollars. Check in your school bookstore or computer services. You may be able to check dreamspark.com to see if your school participates.
