It actually looks great!

 

You could argue to switch to Z97+a pentium g3258, and you could upgrade the processor later. So, do it!

Very good actually, go ahead with it.

 

Use your rebates for a decent CPU cooler and upgrade with an SSD later down the line and you'll have a respectable build.

 

Only change I can suggest is this GPU instead of the DD one

Better card IMO and will bring your initial price down.

It's good, but why not a Pentium instead? Just  because it has the upgradeability, and performance is very similar.

Yours is 10/10

6300 has more cores, which will be helpful in some games

It might perform better in some games, but it's going to get murdered in multitasking.

 

6300 and a 7950 is a good combo.
