It depends on your efficiency. I tend to get 80% efficiency, and this recipe would give me a slightly higher OG than you suggest. Many people get considerably lower efficiencies, however. You should get a decent number from this if you are looking for a sessionable beer (e.g., 4.5-5% ABV).

As for the recipe, I don't think you need the carapils. Most people add that for body, but you will already be getting plenty of body from the wheat. Also, I would swap out the 120L caramel malt for a lighter colored caramel. This is a matter of personal taste, but such a dark caramel seems a bit out of place in a wheat beer to me. I would use something more like 40L.
