$30 is enough for a whole set of case fans to light up the case and cool the components. If that cooler costs $15, then it's worth thinking about.

You're not missing anything in particular other than a copy of Windows, but an RX 470 4GB is hardly worth $345. Get a 1060 6GB at that price.

1. Why use a weak cooler like that, when it costs money? The stock one isnt far behind, but is still enough (even 1600 use it when overclocked a bit just fine) and given for free.

 

2. 450w PSU is enough for something like this, can go to 550w for future upgrades.

An SSD-only system will do just fine if OP doesn't have a lot of games, and he can always upgrade.

don't most PC cases came with fans

Yeah, the 200R comes with two. I might consider a Focus G instead though, it has better airflow.

Looks fine, but I'd get a different cooler (CryOrig H7, the 212 Evo is old news), and a better PSU as others have already mentioned. Especially at the price you're paying. That's way too much for that PSU. I'd also maybe spend a little more on a better SSD.

You don't need a mass storage drive, many can do just fine with a mid capacity SSD. Even with all my games installed, I don't need any more than 360GB.

The 3GB 1060 is $100 cheaper for a minor performance decrease. I would also buy an HDD for storing files and things, and use the SSD as a boot drive / game drive. Also, probably go cheaper with the mobo. I know ROG strix seems like it's a good Idea, but for such a cheap CPU you should really put more money into the other components instead of the mobo. Never spend more on the mobo than the CPU.
