It will work okay but I highly suggest you get at least a 650 ti. I also noticed you only grabbed a single stick of RAM. Make it a 2x4gb config for the faster dual channel setup.
* PSU is NOT a good one so stay away from that one.
* RAM is seperate sets, which isn't the best idea to do. You should get matched sets (Dual Channel) and 16 gb's of RAM is a bit much for most needs, so I'd suggest getting 8 gb's (2 x 4 gb matched sets). Also make sure you use LOW PROFILE heat spreader heatsinks, so you can add an aftermarket cooler to your setup without any clearance issues.
* Mobo doesn't support front USB 3.0 ports for a case, so I've listed one below that does and one that doesn't break the bank.
* Case is okay, but w/$30 in fans causes your case/fan combo up to $75. I have a good cooling case below that is good out of the blocks for ~$50! It also has 2 x USB 3.0 ports too! You'll thank me later for that option!
* I also noticed that you didn't include a DVD drive, was that the plan?
* My build below includes a better GPU and all of the aforementioned issues listed above, just add your monitor and accessories to the build.

i have a dvd/ cd writer and another cd writer already
I would go for a HD 7770, even if it cost more, it is worth it.
pcpartpicker need to be a standard.
