I know I know. Ive made a dozen threads like this over the last 2 or 3 years, but im finally ordering my parts tonight or tomorrow. I am leaving out an ssd and gpu in this list because I simply dont have enough money, and what I have will still be better than a slow dual core laptop from 2012 with a HD 4000 integrated gpu. Ill be ordering an ssd and the gpu in 2-3 weeks. I only need the parts Ive listed. I cant go a hair over 650 dollars. Is my build good, or can there be some changes that still keeps it under 650 dollars?

I should also mention I only want to order from Amazon or Newegg. I want to keep my first build as painless as possible. Even if it means missing out on a few good deals.

Oh, and if it helps Ill either be getting a gtx 950 or amd 280 card when I do order the gpu in a few weeks. Info for mobo/case size.
