This is really the best/easiest option.
RaspberryPi 3 ($43) + Raspberry Pi Camera (~$20) + 2ft ribbon cable ($7) = $70
OctoPi (Free)
One writeup: http://3dprinterwiki.info/wiki/wanhao-duplicator-i3/computer-software/octoprint-on-raspberry-pi/
A cheaper option is to buy a cheapo wifi camera that works with iPhone. (~$20) Connect your printer to your PC and use something like TeamViewer to remote from your phone to your PC to control the printer. It's a multi-step solution but cheaper than RaspberryPi.
I bought this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01EW3QU22
haha I can't wait to see it. I just did a quick check as I don't have a microcenter near me and the Pi that you linked is in-store only. The local frys doesn't have any and Amazon seems to have the Model B for $12 more than your link.. I'm unfamiliar with the Pi other than a basic knowledge. Is there any reason why it's so much more expensive on Amazon than microcenter?

I bought the Maker Select V2 a few weeks ago, so I'll give you a dump of what I've bought so far:
MOSFET - You'll also need some 14 gauge wire, spade connectors, and something (like velcro) to mount it inside the case.
PEI Sheet - After going through tape/hairspray/glue this is what you'll end up wishing you started with. I bought some standard window glass from a big box store and had them cut it to size. I used the thermal pads at first, but I prefer just clipping it on. This way I can have 4 different glass beds to swap among.
Raspberry Pi 3 - OctoPrint is so much nicer than transferring the sd card back and forth.
Fan - DiiCooler or CiiCooler or a few others you can print out that are compatible with this fan (I think, I haven't finished printing them yet).
Y carriage plate - Not sure what the difference between this and yours is - I haven't installed mine yet).
MicroSwiss
Also ordered a couple rolls of Inand PLA from MicroCenter online.
regarding the power supply I've read a lot about people having issues with third part supplies. I would just get the official one or one that has good reviews at least. Typically you get what you pay for.
This is what I bought, it came bundled with the RPI
