And as for wifi make sure you have a good router if you want to game

Your parts list looks good. It is well rounded and not overly powerful in any department. You could get various things for cheaper if you wanted to shave off about $100, but I wouldn't fuse about it too much.
As far as gaming goes RIGHT NOW, the i5 is as good as your need. That being said, there is a shift to games that can use more cores since the new consoles have more. I would still stick with the i5 right now though unless you plan on doing video editing and other CPU intensive tasks.




^You can more or less ignore everything that this person has said^
WD is one of 2 HDD companies that I will trust. They are not cheap, they are one of the most expensive consumer drives you can get.
i5's aren't outdated. They are the same as whichever generation of i7, the only difference is they lack hyperthreading.
For instance, a i5-4670k(the newest i5) is more powerful than a i7-860(an old i7)
This isn't the best analogy but compare it to cars. You have a Corvette and a Camaro. Even though in 2014 the Corvette is faster than the Camaro, if you put that '14 Camaro up against a '63 Corvette it will start lapping it.
8GB RAM is fine for now. If you do want to go for more RAM please upgrade to 16GB not 12GB. If you have 12GB RAM, that will come with 3 sticks for triple-channel motherboards. There is no danger behind doing so but it will force your motherboard to run in single channel mode which will effect performance significantly in a bad way.


Agreed
I have no problem with other people using Hitatchi drives, they are a good value. That being said I will never use them again. I have had about a dozen hard drives, only 2 have ever failed, one was Hitachi, the other Samsung.
Seagate is usually what I pick up in 1 and 2TB drives because they are the cheapest here as far as 7200rpm drives go.

Basically it's between Seagate/WD, get whichever is cheaper in your area.

Not sure how useful that would be but interesting none the less.



Price to performance
For gaming no point to get an i7 for the performance you gain out of it. i5 is fine for gaming if he did video editing a i7 is a great choice.
Gain it something like 10 frames per second.

RAMz
8GB most people won't be able to use any more, you want around 1600Hz.
