The build itself is nice. However. That PSU you selected won't be good enough to run your system. especially if it get's put under a heavy load, it'll fail. The psu is one of those areas people tend to overlook or underspend. I would personally recommend getting an 80+Gold 550w PSU. It'll set you back about $40 more than what you've selected but it's better than destroying your system with a cheap PSU.

Incoming people saying that 500-550w PSUs will be "more than adequate."

OP, if you plan on overclocking that 8320, you'll want a decent chipset (different motherboard) and a better aftermarket CPU cooler. Regardless of wattage and how much your system "should use", slightly more wattage > "just enough" wattage. I would say upgrade the GPU and add an SSD, but I'm not 100% sure of what your budget is.
