What's your total budget?

Without knowing that, I would suggest doing the following:
- Get the Intel Pentium G4560 (similar performance for half the price of that i3)
- Get a better PSU! A Seasonic M12ii or EVGA Supernova G2. 430-450W is more than enough for this build.
- I would also get a better case like the NZXT 340 (about $20 higher than the one you've picked).

^ Agreed.

This is a very good entry to gaming build which will do 50-60fps on medium to high settings at 1080p.
Assuming you get a better PSU, then this will be a very upgradeable rig for the future as well.

Unless you have already bought an OS, you will need one. Thats why the list is a bit expensive, they cost $90 a pop :(
