A few questions first. Do you absolutely need a DVD burner, wireless card, and speakers? If not I'd remove them from the list. If you do, well sure why not. Everything else looks pretty solid. But, if you can remove something I'd drop in a mechanical drive with a bare minimum of 1TB of space for odds and ends. Trust me, you'll blow through 512GB real quick.
