Looks good, only thing I might suggest is this wifi adapter instead:

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

 

Do this:

Quote

And make sure you do it by hitting the quote button at the bottom left of my post, and not the one inside the editor!

Or this:

@DocSwag

 

Buy whatever product is best for you, not what product is "best" for the market.

 

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

I need the wireless and i live in the US and want advice on switching out parts with others 

solid build.  if you need wireless, then i would maybe suggest a powerline adapter.  it essentally acts like your pc has a wired connection without acually running an ethiernet cable throughout your house,
