Great build, no compability issues. But I would swap out some parts.
GPU for GTX 1060 6GB
PSU for Corsair CX650M
Anyways, that is a really good build and I would highly recommend this build.
Nice job mate, hope my opinion counts!

Couple things, I changed out some parts.
CPU Cooler: The H7 is a better cooler with a smaller footprint for $5 more.
SSD: The Triton is a better quality entry level SSD, and $20 gets you double the space. 120GB doesn't cut it anymore for a gaming rig with the size of patches these days.
PSU: The Roswill hive isn't terrible, but you don't need 650w for your build and $15 will get you a much better quality unit. This is one area I always tell people not to scrimp on, the PSU powers the whole thing so make sure its a solid quality part.
Monitor: I'm making an assumption here. You're building a gaming system right? If you don't need an IPS panel, something like the asus I threw in here would perform better for gaming. But if you care about your colors more than response time of the monitor (it's how I roll, so I get it), then an IPS panel would be a good idea.
Finally, a suggestion. Instead of getting a wifi card and dealing with the lag and other issues inherent in wifi, have you looked at Ethernet over Powerline adapters? Generally much better speed, lower latency and none of the connection issues that wifi runs in to.
