"Mainly for mobas"... but will you play other stuff? If you are 100% sure that you'll be playing moba only, then we can go way lower than that build. But if you ever intend on playing demanding games, you'll need all of those 600$.

Im not going to be playing mobaa only, a little bit of csgo, some g-mod, a little minecraft. But no triple A titles or anything.

Ahah. Then, my friend, I'm happy to tell you that you you'll have a killer PC. In fact, you could even go with lower parts than those, but for the sake of allowing a possible BF4 lan party via Steam Friend share, you might as well go for it.

 

If you want to shave 10$ off of the GPU, you may try to buy a used card from Amazon (or any other reliable place). I figure I'd point it out, just in case you'd prefer.

Last, the PSU is a total overkill. But, in case you ever decide to upgrade to an AMD strong GPU in a few years, a 550w PSU will allow that.
