Overall your build is good, a couple of things though:

1) Is 240GB enough? I would recommend a 500 GB HDD in addition to your 240GB SDD. More Space More Better.

2) That power supply will work but it is not really that good. I would recommend something else. Look through the PSU Tier List here on Tom's and you can find some better ones for your price range!

Other than that looks pretty good! What case do you have?
