Is it a good price?
 
Looks great to me except do you already have a graphics card for this build as you haven't listed one? i personally wouldn't spend so much on the CPU but that's just me. =)
 
Not good enough

case + PSU - not recommended. You need decent PSU

CPU - Don't see the point of i5 2500. Go for i5 2500K. However, consider your budget, you would better off to i3 2100 and invest on video card instead.

Optical drive - Get DVD burner

Video card - Probably 5670 to bring under $600

wireless adaptor - I won't recommend that. PC are usually place at a corner those antenna could not be move to a better position to receive strong signal. I would recommend a usb instead.
 
Windows 7 is about 100 bucks, unless you have that covered.
Could get a 960T + decent mb for the cost of the 2500 or 2500k, which would allow more gpu or os.
