Not as much power but I'd take modularity over power any day
Silverstone Strider 600 Plus 600W Modular Power Supply ATX 24PIN 135mm Fan 42A 80+ Bronze Black - DirectCanada
The Samsung F3 1TB is faster than the WD 1TB Black hard drive so if you can find it, go with that instead.

AMD 1055t or Intel i5 750 is basically up to you with both being good options

Idk, but i rather have a better GPU than CPU. I personally this a Phenom II 945 + GTX460 (if you fold) or 5850
