Looks like fine build I don't see anything wrong with it. Except maybe you are wasting a bit of money for getting 6gb GPU if you are only going to play at 1080p. You shouldn't look to overspent and on stuff you are not going to use but cost loads of money.

Is the pc ust for gaming??
If not you probaly dont need 16gb ram

The case is pretty old... I would go with something like a define r5.

You could also get a pci-e wifi, it will give you better speeds.

Also get the EVGA G2 psu. It just a newer model and is better
Other than that it looks like a great build:)
