This is perfect. However i will recommend you to buy power supply of minimum 500w to be future proof. (If you ever change your graphics card)

Not the best PSU out there but could do some work. 

People are saying V300 is the worst but you could try with Crucial or SanDisk. Cheap SSD too

Other than that looks good

My only suggestion would be to perhaps buy a single 250Gig SSD instead of the 120Gig + HDD. This, of course, depends somewhat on your storage needs, but having an SSD large enough to hold all your games may be beneficial. (And you could probably find a cheap used 500gig HDD somewhere.)

 

Also, the case comes with one fan. Given that you won't be overclocking, the one fan is probably enough, so if budget is really tight you could drop one or both of the extra fans.

A sieve may not hold water, but it will hold another sieve.

i5-6600, 16Gigs, ITX Corsair 250D, R9 390, 120Gig M.2 boot, 500Gig SATA SSD, no HDD

i5 is good for future upgrades and such

SSD can be a later upgrade

RX 460 is *alright*

PSU is very good.

Couple of things : 

I'd change the SSD to a different brand, kingston has awful reviews afterthe driver changes.

 

Also, scrap those sicklemaster fans. I have 2 of them, I had to take them out because they are ridiculously loud. Trust me, they are stupidly loud and are commonly known as the jet engine fans
