several things that you need to change. The Hard drive would be better off with a 1TB WD Black, not green. Its a more reliable drive, and you will see a great big speed increase on it.
V8 is an old heatsink. You will see better cooling performance with a 212 or a V6GT. Probably cheaper too.
SB motherboards are DUAL channel. that TRI channel ram kit will end you up in a single channel situation, witch is bad. You need a Dual or Quad channel kit. 2x4Gb is fine.
 
CPU - i5 2500K or no point of getting aftermarket heatsink if you are not overclocking
Mobo - I usually recommend standard ATX instead of m-ATX. Up to you.
PSU -Get a better brand like Seasonic/ Corsair/ Antec, etc
RAM - 2 x 4GB

Agreed except the power supply. Cool master is not bad at all.

Cooler master psu is not bad. but you usually find something better for similar price

CM GX 650 is $90 with MIR $20 at newegg

With similar price, you can also find Corsair TX 650 V2, XFX Core edition 650w, Antec EA650, which I believe they are better than GX 650
 
One more question, do I need a network card for it? Or is it included in the mobo? I actually plan to use Asus P8Z68-V-LE instead of Asus P8Z68-M PRO. Thanks for your input all
