More air flow doesnt hurt anything are you using the stock heat sink or after market?

If money allows I would pick up a better gpu

this gives you an SSD, and a graphics card. If you really want the NZXT case it's about 40$ more. You can always add storage later or get an external.

For gaming this is an overall better setup for a budget gaming rig. Depends on what you want to do.

The cheapest way to go with a SSD is to get one that will hold the games you actually play and the programs you actually want to run and not worry about anything else. Between free web hosting memory services (Google Drive, etc.) and Flash Drives (that hold up to 32GB to 64GB) that are very inexpensive, there is no point to really worrying about how much data you can fit on a drive.

I think this should cover it. You can add an ssd later, you want to look at samsung 128gb and Crucial 256gb.
