Alright guys so the computer is up and running like a champ 
. Two things I needed to know though.
1. Theres no real spot for the SSD drive, its kind of just chilling on the bottom of the case, could I run into problems with that?
2. This video card is huge! It fits fine and everything but... Im worried about how heavy it is, could it damage my motherboard or anything. Do I need to add something for support? Or should it be fine?

You need to get a 2.5" to 3.5" drive bay adapter for your SSD such as this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817812011, then you can install your SSD in the regular HDD bay.
Your graphics card should be fine so long as you don't jar the computer or hit it or anything. Make sure the screws holding it onto the case are done up tightly too, and you should be OK.

OK I'll look into that bay. will the SSD be fine for now as long as I don't move it around, I know theres no moving parts or anything, or should I wait for the adapter?
And OK, It should be fine then
Wait a second the SSD did come with one of those, I just couldn't figure it out... LOL

I wouldn't worry about it too much. SSD's by design have no moving parts, they are more of a microchip than a magnetic device. A lot of shock resistance - i've seen them dropped off buildings and were still able to boot up. Very quiet, low power and heat to speak of as well - with that adapter in place you should be worry free.
