what case are you using?
that power supply is for very small cases. it will fit other cases (it comes with an adapter) but I would go for an EVGA PSU if possible
except for that, awsome build!

I'm building it in gaming console chassis and the wattage calculated was like 230 watts,so yea it is basically a small one. Only concern I currently have is overheating.
The PC is ganna be devoted to one thing only, playing overwatch (wont even use it for web browsing), with that being said is Mcafee a good choice? Would it hinder the game performance?

Also, thank you for the timely reply! Much appreciated :D

That PSU is too small. And you forgot a case.

Get a good SFX PSU like a https://pcpartpicker.com/product/rB3RsY/silverstone-power-supply-st45sf or a good ATX PSU like a Seasonic S1211.

I did get the case lol, I was mainly going over the specs XD and the build was a syber PC if you are familiar with them. And the 450 watts is actually the recommended one but I litterally made the budget by choosing the lower wattage since the builder calculator said the power needed is 230 watts, by going with the 300 I'd be unable to do future upgrades or too little as in would not power the build?

The calculators can be off and aren't really reliable. For that a 450W would be enough headroom.
