i am sure you want 212 evo, not plus :) different base plate
and trust me, 32 ssd isnt enough as OS partition will grow with os update, cache, and program
i replaced it with 64 ssd, i strongly suggest you to go with 128GB samsung 830 though. you wont be dissappointed with it. if you havent used ssd before, you have to know that SSD musnt be filed above 80% capacity.

i see you stick with rosewill case+psu combination. but if you want to consider corsair case+psu pair with similar price, it is even better :)
