Not a bad system. For the SSD a 256GB would be nice so you can install some games on it. Other than that for the price it's not a bad system.
Keep in mind you have a micro ATX case so it's tiny if that's what you're looking for.

is actually a good solid system. only thing i'd look at is a different motherboard. the newest chips need a bios update to run on the older h110 boards. unless you have a spare skylake cpu sitting around so you can fire it up and do the bios update, it's easier to pick a newer model that supports the chip out of the box.
it does add about $20 to the build for the cheapest b250 model i see on partpicker, but it'll save you a ton of grief if you don't have a skylake available to do the bios update. you can use a b250, h270 or z270 board for that new cpu.
if need be for budget concerns, drop the ssd for now and add it later on. it does not add as much to the system as a working motherboard

It's decent but you should make a couple changes...
-Change motherboard to either B250 or H270 as the current one won't work without a BIOS update.
-PSU isn't very good quality, I would try to find something better as the PSU is the most important part of the system.

Here's an improved version.
You want at least a B250 board, i've also included the cost of a keyboard, but without it, it ends up a little cheaper with a better monitor and components.

You don't need an expensive psu like in that last build by WildCard,the next is a very good choice for that,just not semi modular,
https://au.pcpartpicker.com/product/FQ648d/corsair-power-supply-cp9020101na
the next wifi card i used myself and is imo very good,
https://au.pcpartpicker.com/product/tTGkcf/tp-link-wireless-network-card-tlwn822n
not alot more expensive.
Also a nice case,but not with a window,
https://au.pcpartpicker.com/product/T3rG3C/cooler-master-case-nse200kkn1
again cheaper.
