Great build except that's the older generation AMD cpu, the newer ones would be 8320/8350. If you can, try to go for the Intel i5 3570K and a ASrock Z77 Extreme4. Do you really need an SSD? If not drop that and just use a standard mechanical harddrive and spend the money on something else, like a better case or graphics card. That PSU is great for the price it comes in at.
