Going to want something like this instead

as you can see here the pentium is not far behind the locked i5 for gaming


This has a nicer case and PSU, in addition the 1TB hitachi drive you have there is probably a server pulled drive that you really shouldn't use in a daily PC

Well the sale ended, but it was a really good value buy for that like 5 minutes it lasted

 

Otherwise something like this then if you don't want to wait, didn't know it was an all in one PC

Would I be good for now with just my 250 GB SSD for now until I can save up for a hard drive?

It'll be fine I'm sure. Just limited in space for a while

 

doesn't that get you the RX 470/480 sooner?

I heard that the ZOTAC GeForce 1050 is good with the pentium g4560. Should I go with that its around $110 so it would fit in my budget better then some other graphics cards.

Not really since you end up being very limited in the future, best to spend a bit more now and get an RX 470 minimum for 1080p 60hz gaming

You an see the 3 cards compared here

Which one was the best, I wont be able to load the video for a few hours. And I still wont be able to get any graphics card for now on my budget, and I watched a video about the pentium g4560 and the GTX 1050 and they were getting 60+ fps on battlefield 1 max settings, and plus the GTX 1050 is a lot cheaper.

That was probably a 1050ti if it was doing that as seen here, the RX 470 being well above it, even with the pretty shitty blower 470 used here

The main reason to get the RX 470 is for DX12/Vulkan scaling in the future, as seen with DOOM, where the 470 is twice as fast as the 1050, and 30fps ahead of the 1050ti

I had to change some of the parts to better fit my budget, it's a little over so I can't go over, will this be good? 

I can get the 470 later, any suggestions for a good one?

Long as it has 2 fans and decent reviews any 470 really, maybe look for sapphire, XFX or MSI

Don't cheap out on your power supply, whenever you upgrade to an i7 7700K you'll need a good PSU for overclocking

I'm not planning on overclocking at all.

You'll want to overclock, and the i7 7700K should hit 5ghz easily, that's the whole point of buying the Z270 board, it's mostly going to help with minimum frame rates in some games

The other point is getting faster RAM, it's worth it to spend the $5 for 2800mhz RAM since it also helps with minimum frame rates and matters for a few games anyways
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/xDx9TW/gskill-memory-f42800c16d8gvr

and it'll ensure that you never hit a CPU bottleneck

If you really don't care about all that then just grab a B250 ASrock Pro4 and consider Ryzen in the future if it's any decent, will need to replace your board though

As you can see here, basically the same CPU the i3 6100, gains some fps using 2666mhz RAM in some CPU limited tests

Even if overclocking the CPU makes it perform better on games, I don't see overclocking worth it because of all the cons on overclocking.

It's just a bit of extra power usage/heat, which is nothing really for the added performance if you need it

Did some editing as well, the other point of the Z720 board is faster RAM, which can help in CPU limited situations, especially with the Pentium G4560/i3 6100

But wont I have to invest in more fans/water cooling if I overclock because of the heat?

Well ya, bout $100 for a decent 240mm AIO

 

if you really don't care about any of that then get 2400mhz RAM and a B250 board, lets you get the nicer PSU anyways

What would you suggest for a better power supply? Right now I have https://pcpartpicker.com/list/p8RJRG
