Changed a few things, CPU the 8300 isnt worth he additional cost over the 8100, RAM speed since 2666 is the highest you can go, as well as a cheaper mobo. Yeah its not as flashy but is cheaper and similarly equipped.

You could put what you save towards a better GPU. You also could save some money and get a cheaper PSU like the Corsair CX550 (grey and Black Letting not gree) or CX550M. But the G3 is much nicer and I think its worth it to spend on the PSU.

Cooler is upto you. For ssd, you can try AMD StoreMI with 2gb system ram and 500gb hdd.
