I would make some changes. The PSU being the first thing. That G1 unit is not very good. The i5 6600 is not worth the added cost vs the 6500. PCI-E based wifi card would be better, than USB. Also, I have little trust in the quality of gigabyte graphics cards. MSI, EVGA, and Asus tend to be better. That SSD is ok, but it is more suitable for notebook use, due to its low power usage. Yes it is faster than an HDD, but there are better SSD's out there. Made some changes to get you some better components.

Thanks for the help but I have a few questions.
Regarding the Deepcool case, does it have good airflow ? and is 650W PSU not enough for my build since I don't intend to add another video card to my system?

Yes, 650w is enough, but for the money, the B2 750 is a great PSU. You tend to have to pay more, for a quality 650w. The B2 750 has just been selling at a very good price, lately.

I believe that the Deepcool case has good airflow. It is also one of the few cases, in its price range, to actually include a front and rear fan. Many only include one or the other.
