The CPU will bottleneck the GPU, but it looks okay.

[Archangel1994]

That GPU will be bottlenecked.

That's not $600. What is your real budget?

 

Also, the bottleneck won't be too bad. 

You could switch it out for a pentium g3258 and a budget z97 board for a better upgrade path. 

 

Lemme fix this build. give me 5 minutes...

 

This one is better in every way:

It will have better single threaded and similar multithreaded performance once overclocked and will have a great upgrade path. 

 

The RAM is faster and dual channel, giving a performance increase in certain applications. 

 

The PSU is similar but much cheaper, and the whole system consumes less power due to the pentium g3258.
