Ok, so this cpu wont cause any High temp problems (last time my laptop did that and melted plastic...) and  The list you put above a few posts, Follow that one?

Also no

 

The stock cooler is a little bit loud but it's fine and it definitely won't melt plastic

There's actually a couple bad value choices there. Save some money on PSU and case and grab an SSD.

Yeah let's do that, and do the big SSD

Only indirectly. A motherboard may have better or poorer support for features like CPU or memory overclocking, which can in turn affect gaming. Support for multi-GPU technologies like SLI and Crossfire is also generally a feature of the motherboard. Nothing on the motherboard does any "processing" of the game, though.

If you buy an SSD, make it 250 GB or more. The whole point of the SSD is to be able to install games to it so you can load in a little faster. In my experience moving games to my 850 EVO SATA SSD makes them load around 25-30% faster than running them off my 7200 RPM hard drive. The stuff you always hear about system responsiveness from using an SSD just feels like a placebo effect IMO. Yeah the boot is faster but it never felt night and day going from HDD to SSD. I would advise not cutting things out of the budget just to fit in a 120 GB SSD that might fit one AAA game on it. Because a 120GB is really 111.76 GiB, which is the number Windows will show you for the size of your SSD. This is because a Gigabyte is 10^9 bytes whereas a Gibibyte is 2^30 = 1.0737*10^9 bytes. So your 120GB drive is really 111.76 GiB. Now you need to save about 8% of that drive space for overprovisioning, as an SSD needs a percentage of free space for bookkeeping or it gets really slow. So now your 120GB drive is really 102.8 GiB of usable storage. That would be fine for Overwatch but if you ever wanted to put a big game like GTA V it might be tough to squeeze in. And then you already have games like Gears of War 4 using over 100 GiB.

No. Some things about your rig..

MOBO: you can go cheaper and smaller with something like this https://pcpartpicker.com/product/rLs8TW/msi-motherboard-h110mgaming

PSU you dont need more that 500W and bronze lvl. something like this is enough https://pcpartpicker.com/product/zNK7YJ/evga-power-supply-100b10500kr

RAM: you dont need 2400, you can go with 1600, dont know if there is much price difference tho.

HARD DRIVE: just buy an ssd and forget about that 1TB drive.

Yes. But it would also limit future upgrades since these psu and mobo are very basic.

This looks like a relatively good option, however, as others have said, I would recommend getting an SSD. SSDs speed up things a lot and is considered one of the best computer upgrades. A 120GB should be good and you can put your OS and a few smaller games on it. I have a 1TB SSD and I have my OS and all my applications, software, and games on it. All my files are on my 2TB HDD.
