I'm new to computers but I have been researching a lot and have made a preliminary pc build that I would like someone to give me feedback on it. This is my first build and I just want something to play csgo league of legends and maybe call of duty on medium settings for 500-$550. Here is the link. My main questions are weather i should switch out my processor for the i3-6100 and whether I should get the 4 GB version of the graphics card. Any help would be appreciated :)

thanks a lot man! One question though do i need to buy an aftermarket fan or is the fan that comes with the processor fine?
 
pick up an after market cooler it keep the cpu cooler in games then the stock plasic cooler from intel. also look at pick up a 470/480 gpu. there be a little more money by faster then the older gpu and use less power or wait for the 1060 gpu and then build.
