If you are not going to OC or to go SLI/Crossfire route the mobo is total overkill. Look for one with H67 chipset (you can save some buck)

 

[vitornob]

The PSU too is total overkill. You can go nicely with a 500W PSU (since the card draws 170W and your CPU draws 95W).

I found a 600 psu thats in a combo deal with the i5 2500 which is cheaper than the 500w psu and i52500 separately

also do you know of any cheap pci wifi adapters that work well?

 

[ScrewySqrl]

the 600W combo is good. Corsair CX are good 80+ units.

wi-fi adapters are close to commoditized, anything from a decent brand will work (DLink, Netgear are top brands, but Zonet, Zyxel, Belkin, and even rosewill make decent models as well.

change your gpu with a hd6870, it is near to equal to a gtx 560 at a low cost

I didnt see a hard drive listed in your parts, have you got one in mind? I like the samsung f3 spinpoint @7200 rpm and 32mb cache it is purty qwik , Also consider a small ssd drive to load windows on for faster boots and quicker program launching. In either or both cases go with the newer sata III 6gb,assuming your choice of mobo supports SataIII.
