Took a while, finally done :D. Made changes for the better such as a much more powerful graphics card, ability to overclock, better case, etc. Also there is absolutely no need for 16GB of ram.

I'm guessing you're on a limited budget. With the exception of the SSD, this should all work. The SSD is too small. Either go with one between 80GB and 128GB for the OS or don't bother.
