Okay. Um... This is what I think might be good. BUT I am not sure what PSU I will need if someone could help with that it would be really appreciated. Do I need any thing else? Will everything work good (I'm really not sure what Optical drive to choose)?
 
I was planning on just using the HD4000. Do you think I should get a GPU? How much would I spending on an average one?
(BTW thanks for the quick reply! :))

I would get a corsair 430watt, its a really nice PSU with quality components. The integrated graphics is plenty for normal video watching, browsing, youtube, etc.. Only get a discrete gpu if you plan on gaming or video/photo editing.
 
Okay so now I've got this list of components:

Case: BitFenix Prodigy (White)
PSU: Corsair CX430M 430W
Optical Drive: Samsung SH-B123A
CPU: Intel Core i5 3570K 3.4GHz Socket 1155
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-Z77N-WIFI
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 2x4GB Model: CML8GX3M2A
HHD: Seagate Barracuda ST31000524AS 1TB
Wireless: TP-Link TL-WDN4800
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX HDMI Dual DVI 1GB

Is the optical drive compatible? I haven't been able to find out...

What gpu did you go with? and it would probably work, but theirs a good chance it will break sleep. I would go with this instead http://www.amazon.com/dp/product/B0057FRTPW/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=tonymacx86com-20.
 
Is there no blu ray read DVD write optical drives I could use?

I'm currently using this one in my HTPC:

LG Electronics Blu-ray Disc Combo Internal SATA 12X Lightscribe with 3D Play Back, Model CH12LS28.

Haven't tried to read any bd-r discs but so far has played comercial Blu-ray Discs. Hope this helps.

No problems with sleep breaking?
