CPU: 5/10 - old, and ridiculously expensive. Superceded by this: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115055
CPU Cooler: 0/10 - AMD only, will not work with that CPU or the one I posted, you need this: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835186134 (I will check if this fits a low profile case)
Motherboard: 0/10 - Again, AMD only, so will not work with that CPU. It's also Asus, cheap and nvidia chipset. Bad when combined together. http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128380
RAM: 5/10 - OCZ RAM isn't great. Reliability issues. http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145184 - better memory.
GPU: 6/10 - The HD4870 1GB is a good card, but shouldn't cost anywhere near that much: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161269
Case: 5/10 - Apevia cases aren't particularly well made, and you've chosen a case with a PSU which you won't be using. A better mATX case: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811163116
PSU: 6/10 - not the best PSU for that sort of money. This is better: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139005
HDD: 8/10 - not especially fast, but quiet and reliable
Keyboard: 4/10 - questionable reliability and performance
WLAN card: 7/10 - works well, but expensive
Sound card: 8/10 - good sound card, but poor driver support

it's not worth buying a custom PC and getting it assembled for you, the prices are extortionate, and PC building isn't that hard.
