Good evening,helping my gf to build a mitx rig for general usage like web surfing and ms office . No need over clock,mouse keyboards monitor and odd. Will be great to have USB 3.0 ports

CPU & Mobo: G3220 & Asrock H81M ITX
RAM: Crucial 2x 4Gb value ram
SSD: Samsung Evo 840 256GB
PSU + CASE : FSP 450w + jonsbo v2 itx
OS : Window 7 Home Premium OEM
Wireless Adapter : TP link TL-WN722N wireless N 150Mbps

Is this build okay? Is there any motherboard that has built in wifi card for g3220? Another Qn will be can roughly estimate how much the items listed cost now?

Edit: budget less than 700

Thank you in advance and also once again thanks for the help and advice for my current rig built from the experts here

NUC model with WYK suffix have only mSATA. Means you are limited to using only mSATA SSD.

NUC model with WYKH suffix have both mSATA & SATA. Means have the flexibility to use cheaper SATA SSD. Thus, upto 1x mSATA SSD + 1x laptop HDD or 2x SSD

Hope I cleared your confusion :o
