I helped my friend in picking parts for his new PC, but I want to know other peoples opinion on the parts we chose. We also haven't chosen a case yet so your suggestions are appreciated. I'm thinking the s340 or p400(s) would be good.

Edit:
Parts will be bought from mindfactory.de so pcpartpicker prices are irrelevant.

MB - Changed to a Gigabyte board.
MEM - B150 (and H110 and H170) are limited to DDR4-2133. Also, always install modules in matching pairs to take advantage of the dual memory controllers. A single module will have you in single channel mode (reduced performance).
SSD - 120GB is pretty small. Best to just go with a larger drive now...
PSU - No. XFX, Seasonic, the EVGA G2 lineup, or filter through the Tier 1 or Tier 2 list. www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html
WIRELESS - Look toward the newer revision of that model.

Not too sure about the quality of that PSU, and kingston SSD's I don't believe are all that great either. Memory should be in a 2x4gb config. 128gb isn't very useful either.

This would be a better build for the money. Case is a personal choice, but I don't think either of those are bad choices.
