1st PC Build for Photo Edit

[RSDS1227]

Hi all, I posted before asking about advice for my first PC build and received great feedback. Now I have made a parts list and of course it's a bit too much for my $800 budget. I am asking for some ideas where I can save a few $$ and not sacrifice quality of this build. I know I can save about $100 just by purchasing through different suppliers but I prefer to get everything from Amazon. I also know I really don't need two SSD drives but I want to keep LR5 on one and my OS on the other. I got this advice from USAFRet and I like it.

3 drives:
SSD #1 = OS and applications
SSD #2 = Lightroom catalogs and cache space
HDD = all that other stuff, and final resting place for images, etc.

The second SSD is not critical, but for $60 or so, it does make a significant difference.
