Hi there! At the moment my build (https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/WbndzM) is pretty much done but I would like to know if I could improve it in any way (budget is around $500). Also wondering if I would run into any problems when overclocking the CPU with my current motherboard or if any bottlenecking would occur when playing games such as CS:GO or Overwatch. I appreciate the help :)

The G4560 is much better for CS GO. CS GO fps is dependent on CPU core strength and the pentiums core are about twice the power of the FX6300. The G4560 dominates in all gaming benchmarks I have seen between those 2 CPU's. The pentium also gives you a decent upgrade path which the FX6xxx does not. The FX range are just out of date now.
