My First Build (help needed)

[Manninge]

just wanted some opinions on how this looked. For the Tower itself I wanted to stay under $500 and this is what I came up with:

how much are you willing to spend?

Why do you have a $70 case for a $350 build?  ...and that green drive, why?

 

$320:

keyboard, mouse, monitor? all of these?

[Manninge]

This is what I planned:

 

$500-600 for the tower

$200-300 for peripherals

 

Approx $1000 total when its all said and done. 

 

So this is kinda a mashup of the two you guys sent in:

 

CPU: Intel Core i3-6100 3.7GHz Dual-Core Processor  ($110.99 @ SuperBiiz) 
CPU Cooler: Rosewill RCX-Z775-LP 33.5 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler  ($10.99 @ Amazon)

Memory: Crucial 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR4-2133 Memory  ($26.99 @ SuperBiiz) 
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive  (Purchased For $0.00) 
Case: Xion XON-310_BK MicroATX Mid Tower Case  ($22.99 @ Amazon) 
Power Supply: Corsair CXM 450W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply  ($59.88 @ OutletPC) 
Case Fan: Fractal Design FD-FAN-SSR3-92-WT 24.4 CFM  92mm Fan  ($3.99 @ NCIX US) 
Total: $281.82
 

The thing is it still needs a graphics card and im willing to spend a bit more, so i think a $200 graphics card in this build would be bottlenecked by something right? Maybe the extra budget could be distributed to get maybe an i5 and a smaller graphics card? Thanks for all the help already everyone. 

 

Edit: The case and budget can fit a GTX 950 but i think that might be a bit much lol
