Just up that CPU a bit, maybe a Pentium G2120 will do. And, down the amount of RAM to 8 GB.
And, aren't you forgetting something? What about Mobo? Well, get ASUS/ASRock H77 Mobo.

There is absolutely zero need to pay more for HDD than the CPU. Drop to $70 HDD and up to i5 CPU. You also don't need a cooler unless you're buying i5-2500k/3570k or i7-2600k/3770k.

Prob. overkill for a Facebook machine

That HDD is a discontinued product and out of stock (if you want to purchase from newegg). Your build looks to me like it is a bit imbalanced (no offense). Here is what i suggest:

- Change your CPU if you want but don't put there pentium FFS (CPU cooler is there for something like *cough* 3570k)
- Change your GPU if you want Nvidia/lower grade/cheaper/better one
