I already have a Seagate Barracuda 2TB Desktop SATA Internal Hard Drive on the memory side and will incorporate the CoolerMaster Hyper 212X and replace the Corsair Builder Series CX500 V2 500W Power Supply with SeaSonic S12II 530W.

How is the Seasonic PSU better than the Corsair? I thought 500W of Corsair would be sufficient for the build. Can you please also rate the AsRock motherboard? Or should i consider the ASUS or MSI models?

corsair power supplies range from excellent quality for their most expensive models, to doorstop use only for their budget range.

seasonic is about the best you can get at any price range.

other than that, your build looks great.
