That build looks good except for that cpu. CX series does not have a good reputation. If it were me I would go for something like this.

This is a Pentium that can overclock, no problem at all. The case is well suited to this build and the PSU, despite being way, way overkill for this sort of build, it's only $20 more and you get a much higher quality unit along with it.
