Pretty good. My thoughts are below..

MB - Look toward a board with four memory slots. That will lead you to the B150 and H170 chipsets.
GPU - The GTX 1060 6GB will give you a bit more performance at the same price point.
CASE - On a budget I like the Deepcool lineup better than the N200.
PSU - Stick with XFX, Seasonic or the EVGA G2 lineup. Light reading => www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html
