Might want to check the case as i am not familiar with most the budget cases to what's good. Other than that this is a solid all-round Gaming and Dekstop build but you could consider the new Ryzen 5 CPUs depending on your uses. If you can spare any more cash an SSD would be a nice addition as a boot drive. Hope this helps :)

Ahh i see. Didn't realise you already had the GTX 950. In that case the build without should be alright? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/YHBxjc. Basically what you had in the original post but a better Power Supply (Corsair VS are low quality). Any B250 Board will be fine but i suggest getting one with 4 RAM slots for future upgrade paths.
