The components that you have chosen are all fine.

Suggestion:
SSD : If you can manage it go for 128GB. With 60GB - things will get bottled up in no time & if you cross 75% of the storage, then performance also will take a hit. With 128GB you will have adequate space to install all your essential softwares + a few games too.
Regarding brands Kingston is not too great. Brands to consider are Samsung (pro series), presently this is the topmost; OCZ vertex 4 (although stocks have dissapeared from the markets and lastly Intel.

Where is the Dell SL2240 monitor available & at what price ? Is it full HD ?

Cheers
Terry

I dont agree with you @terence_fdes
Intel SSD is far more reliable than samsung anytime any day.
they are costly,I agree but that's the price of reliability and quality.

Few more suggestions:

Instead of M5A97, use Asus M5A99FX Pro as this is the latest chipset with which you can utilize the advance features of 8350. (Also since this is ASUS, expecting that you can also get more discounts

Use Seagate Barracuda instead WD green.

Will surely consider the 99 chipset while buying,hope the price goes down a bit more in the next two months,when I will actually get this PC built.
