IS there anywhere i can cut corners to maybe get an SSD? I have about $70 so if i can add any to it that'd be great.

Things you might want to know:

Will be used for gaming.
Budget is about $1500.
Live in New York City, will probably be ordering from Tigerdirect.com
Prefer Intel, Nvidia
Might Possibly overclock CPU/GPU in the future. Never overclocked before.
Don't need mouse, keyboard, or monitor.
Resolution: 1920x1080 (4GB VRAM is for Modding Skyrim and possibly some other games, and people who say you won't go over 2gb mean with adjustments to graphics. I want to try to get as close to max as i can within my budget.)

Ok, i think that's it. Thanks for any and all help. :)

Can't even see a mistake lol! Very nice build :p.
Btw: for modding skyrim you don't need 4gb at all, I made a nice mod with a dozen of navmesh and my 1gb could do it easy. It depends more on your cpu, then you could better see for an i7 and go with 2gb.
