Only thing i would change is the ssd. http://www.anandtech.com/show/7763/a...er-micron-nand
Get a crucial mx100 or samsung 840 evo (make sure to update firmware before using)

You may want to change the MoBo. It needs a bios update to run Haswell Refresh CPUs (which the one you put in is)
V300 is... not good. It's barely better than a standard 7200RPM HDD.

Choices that you can do.
Opt to get a higher capacity SSD like the MX100 256GB at $100.
No SSD at all and get a GTX 960 video card.
I picked the i3 due to budget concerns and cause it's higher clocked. It will trail behind a bit the i5 in multi-core applications due to 2 physical core 2 hyper thread as opposed to 4 physical cores. Hyper thread obviously being weaker.
Id go with these changes:
A lot better case for a little more money:

Save you money on PSU: (430 way more than enough for your build)

Save you money on Memory:

Everything else looks good to me : )

I'm still considering the 256GB SSD.
Thanks for the help guys! I am so done raiding in 20FPS. I don't know how I've stuck through it since I started playing.
