I have chosen the parts for my budget gaming build, and I was wondering if anyone could look them over and tell me how it looks, I cant change the graphics card, since I already bought that, nor can I fit an SSD into my budget :( from what I've gathered I think that looks like a solid build.

- Thanks to all who reply

I noticed you didnt have a good cheap cooler so I added one. you can go for this right now sicne I personally thing its better and get an SSD as an upgrade sooner. I changed your Mobo, RAM and PSU for much ideal ones though. take a look.

Do I really need a CPU cooler if I'm not going to overclock?

And how would that very much red mobo look in that blue case would it look out of place or no?

Edit - Well with all those great replacements seems like I'm going for a red black and blue build haha.

and its better to have a good cooler to be honest even when not overclocking, the 212 Evo is quite good, its quiet, easy to install actually and is quite cheap and waay better than stock coolers.

It seems that red and black is much easier to come by, so I'll probably end up going with the red and black S340, granted the blue bar can be completely removed so maybe I'll even do that instead, I just wanted blue on the outside of the case, the inside didn't matter to me, so it seems my build shall be blue on the outside and red on the inside! And thank for the help on the mobo, but I cant stand bronze gold looking color, I don't even know what to call that color haha, so it seems the ASRock is for me, thanks a bunch man!

I put a 650w 80+ platinum because it was only $10 more than an EVGA 550w G2.
