Looks good. Maybe just look at stepping up to the cm storm octane. More backlight colors and much bettermouse. PLE sells it. Also maybe look at stepping up that gpu to the 380x. I have seen them listed on newegg for not much more that that 380 you have there... Also that cooler? Ehhhhh. Just get a hyper 212 evo...

You could get a skylake i3 for that budget and be better off for gaming

The board there is probably the best budget 1151 board, it has USB 3.1 and Type C, so if you can find it somewhere get it, otherwise just make sure any alternative board has USB 3.1 and type C

Also depending on the games you play the Mouse from that combo sucks the big one for lift off distance, it'll track from almost a CM off the mouse pad, accuracy when repositioning can just be thrown out the window.

snowball is probably overkill, look for the snow flake, Samson GO mic, or maybe a Mod Mic
