Hey there, here's what I would recommend (please read notes at the end):

The G4560 is a cheaper processor that performs very similarly to the i3 6100. For such a minor loss in performance the $70 in savings is certainly worth it.
Neither the G4560 or the i3 6100 need an additional CPU cooler, both come with one pre-included.
The ram you selected is no longer available at that price. I've included the cheapest option, but there are several options. If you're willing to wait about a month for it to ship, you can purchase this set of RAM for $62 (best value if you can wait). You can also go to CanadaComputers and pick up 4GB for $48, or any of these three 8GB kits ($90~).
For the case, I would recommend buying that in store to avoid shipping costs. I strongly recommend the Corsair Carbide 100R from CanadaComputers ($39 after Mail-in Rebate). If you'd rather you can also get the BitFenix Comrade for $35 (Corsair 100R much better though).

It's not a very good time to be buying GPU's, the prices are still going down and there are new nvidia's on the horizon, but since you asked...

Ausu b250 mining expert. $140 No brainer, best mining board out right now.
i3 Processor. $120 I'm a big fan of the g4400 for linux builds, but being able to run windows is required for some coins/cards right now.
8 gig ram. $80. Split between 2 linux builds use both sticks for windows.
Your favorite PSU. I like the Corsair HXi series. $180. You can use 3 PSU's with the mobo, so expanding is possible, but not optimal obviously.
Risers $100
13 used GTX750 1Gig. $555.62. Make sure you don't buy the fakeedoos.

That leaves you about $125 for presents for Mrs. Vosk and Tails. You will be running about 3.3-3.5kh/s on cryptonight/V7 @ about 500+watts or about 1ksol/s (I think?) on equihash. About $6 worth of monero/day at this instant.

When the new Nvidia cards come out, ebay the 750's or throw them away as you replace them with 1180's.

Oh yeah, links for the parts incase anyone wonders.
