Don't be cheap around a power supply, look at corsair cxm units for a cheaper but decent unit

 

If you upped the processor to a 2400g you'll be happier in the long run when you add a gpu.

Looks good, however, I would try and get maybe a little bit faster ram if possible, and a better psu, one that's a higher tier via this post. Also maybe look into a better case, the DIYPC cases aren't that great with cable management and space. Maybe a https://pcpartpicker.com/product/RVfhP6/cooler-master-masterbox-mb510l-atx-mid-tower-case-mcb-b510l-kann-s00 or https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Wnw7YJ/cougar-mx340-atx-mid-tower-case-mx340 I would opt for the second case; however, since it has better cooling

Well that ssd is is a little expensive... I think a smaller ssd would be good. I have a left over hdd from the pc im using rn, and I think I dont need a lot of storage, just something to put windows on and a game or two

Go ahead and check out the link in my signature about cheap SSDs. Your Kingston is cachess, the EVO is not. Cachless drives are slower and die faster than cached drives.
