some of the links dont work. id say hold off for a bit there are a couple of problems or tweaks

1:id get a better case like a antec 302

2: SSD link doesnt work so i have no idea

3: that 1tb drive isnt the new awesome one. the newer one is the one with a 64mb cache

4: the LCD is decent enough

5: GPU is ok too. if you had more cash, id get a 7850 and you will see a large increase in performance

6: power supply is a no go. go to newegg and check out the seasonic m12II 520w. the zt series are known to sound like helicopters

7: personally, id go and get a i3 2120 since it performs much better but if you dont have the money, go ahead and get it

8: for the i3 2120, you would want to go with a h61-le/csm motherboard and some crucial ballistix sport 8gb. if you are going to the AMD side, the combo you have is good to go

9: for the wifi adaptor, check out their weekly deals at ncix. they uually have one that is better for cheaper
