Wrong subforum, work on your layout too most people will skip your post if it's too much effort to read.

How about this. I upgraded the GPU to a 960. You should use the Pentium because it has great overclocking potential (it will match an i3s performance). I added an SSD (everyone should have an SSD), the case is much nicer in my opinion and the CPU cooler is necessary for you to overclock and get all the extra performance out of the CPU. The motherboard supports 5th gen intel cpus so if you want to upgrade your pentium to broadwell you can and it is made specifically to overclock pentium anniversary chips. It supports pentiums, i3, i5 and even i7s. The 600w PSU is more than enough, plus it is also semi-modular so you can detach the cables you are not using to do tidier cable management. If you cannot get the extra $40 you could downgrade to 4gb of ram and then just upgrade whenever you can (those modules are like 30 bucks and they are really easy to install.
