Only thing I might change would be upping the RAM to 16gb(2x 8gb) which is about 45 dollars more, swapping to the same motherboard but ATX(personal preference) and getting a slightly larger PSU. That last one is also probably a personal preference, but I just can't get over putting anything less than 650w in, but mostly it's overkill nowadays.

The 750w Psu was the same price as the 650, other than that it's what I mentioned.

The objective was to get maximum performance at minimum price. The RAM upgrade is a good suggestion. Other than that, its not going to affect too much in terms of performance.
