How are you going to use your PC? For gaming or etc?

If anything you'll be bottlenecked by the GPU. You'll still be able to run games fine on good settings. 

Also I would look into getting a HDD just for general storage and save the SSD for your OS and anything else you use a lot.

I'm assuming this is for gaming.

Most likely gaming.

I am looking at spare computers from family and friends for a HDD that i will wipe and then use for my PC.

I will be replacing my GPU first, its just I will be short on money and needed a cheap GPU and there was a sale so.

Is the CPU cheap because that will be all I need or.

I have the 750W power supply just in case, like if i upgrade it or anything.

I wasnt going to have a CPU cooler but I like the recomendations thanks a bunch.

If your going to be doing multitasking an i5 will do better. The stock fan will be fine with either of them unless you OC, then i would probably get a aftermarket cooler. 

Your rig won't use very much power at all either so even if you do upgrade the GPU you would still have headroom.

If you're going to just game and browse the web then an i3 would save you some money.

Would you be able to recommend a good cooler then?
