Again, thank you to those who have offered your suggestions, and please continue to do so. I do not yet have the funds to have all these parts bought, so the layout is not set in stone; Especially if I may save money and have the exact same performance. So reach out to me and let me know what you guys think! Comment or give me some critique, it's well welcomed here!
 
Thanks! These two suggestions together really only goes over my budget by $120; making it very doable while also increasing my performance considerably. Thank you again!

Anymore opinions just throw them out at me please!
 
Just get a WB Blue Drive instead of a RED, its fine for storage. I use one as my daily drive.

I would get a Corsair CX750M unit instead of that XFX.
