it looks good, but 1600 ram costs only $5 more then the 1333 set will so definately do that, you can never have high enough speed or too much ram.

everything else you listed will still be great with the i3, i5, or i7, just be sure to get matching ram for your mobo. at todays prices i dont think it makes a lot of sense to build anything less then an i5 system and i wouldnt build less then an i7 if it were me but if you are on a tight budget then the i3 system with 16 GB ram looks great.
PS - also dont overlook the mobo, a good quality mobo is key and price can be confusing. some cost a lot but arent any better then lower priced boards and many you pay a lot for overclocking features that most people never use so take the most time with selecting the right mobo for your needs. boards in the $100-$150 range are all i would spend and they will serve your needs well. cheaper bvoards are just that "cheap" and higher priced boards are usually not worth the extra money you pay for them unless you are some extreme computer user or hard core overclocker.
