How's this look? I also changed the ram like you mentioned but I stuck with this one. Has great reviews on a lot of the websites. Am I all set for ordering now?
I would tack on an aftermarket cooler if it's within your budget to be honest. 212 Evo would work ok but if silence is something you're looking for, Dark Rock 3 would be a good choice as well as a good cooler for overclocking later. Adding that would make for a pretty damn quiet case.
Other than that I don't really see any issues.

Oh god no, bad experience with the 212 evo, had 2 that made horrific noise. Thanks for the suggestion though..I'll look into coolers eventually but I don't plan on overclocking ever and I was told that I dont need a cooler, so I'm going to skip getting one. As long as this build is not crazy loud, then I'll be fine.
Personally I would say, you don't need to OC until later in the life span where you may need the extra performance. It's a lot easier to put it that way. Get an aftermarket later on and do a light OC on it and you should be done. You could get a quiet one like Noctua U12S (or whatever model name) or Be Quiet Dark Rock. It's what I plan to do really when I get a new processor, which is some time no idea.
would that intel cpu work? the cheap pentium one.
