Solution
in my opinion.
You are wasting too much money in (PSU AX 760) (You can get EVGA Gold + 750W with a better price.
Also
That sabertooth and RAM 3200 (Not that much improvement) Better to save some to get I7 - 6700k.

Hey i calculated it, and with the motherboard, cpu and ssd you changed i calculated it
if i kept my i5, your build would be 50$ expensive than what i have, and with an i7 on my created build, your build would save me around 150 dollars, is it worth saving it?
