Hey everyone, I'm working on a budget gaming PC. I've got the price about where I want it, but I wanted some input before I'm sure of the build. Any suggestions are welcome as well.

The CPU cooler is unnecessary, the i5 comes with a cooler and the one you listed probably won't cool much better. The PSU is way overkill for your build also. A 430 watt would be more than enough. If you want to try overclocking, you could use one of the Asrock Hyper series motherboards which can overclock locked processors. You would then need a decent CPU cooler like the Cryorig H7 or CM EVO 212.
