i'm still new to computers, but i'm pretty sure you could get something much better for that price.

also, you shouldn't need a wifi adapter unless you are going to be moving your computer around a lot. just use an ethernet cable.

you could get something way better than that for that price. but its a O.K build.

Edited Champions build further, this should be as good as you can get for your needs and budget.

Choose a case you like that fits your budget and add a wireless card if you're absolutely positive you cannot get an ethernet cable routed to your computer, you will get infinitely superior performance from a dedicated ethernet cable over a wireless card.

Also, Champion, for future reference; stop suggesting that people buy Western Digital RE drives. They're intended for NAS and surveillance system usage, not for things that anyone on this forum does unless they specifically state otherwise.

That build is very similar to my brother's (BluetoothBoy). He's got a i5 4460, 8 GB of RAM, and an R9 280. Performs quite nicely.
