First build! Update!

[2Brown4U]

Hey guys, so I've changed some things around since my previous thread, I've gotten the build cheaper and just better in general, here it is at the moment:
https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/user/2Brown4U/saved/4trd
I changed my CPU cooler from the Corsair H60 and my PSU from the Corsair CX600M, I was going to add an optical drive but I was texting my cousin and he said he can hook me up aha.
So now I'm just wondering if there's anything I can change to get a better price/performance, just like last time.
Thanks in advance!
Two more things, all my prices are from Canada Computers, as there is one just down the street from me, and I hopefully in the future plan on doing some light overclocking, like maybe to 4.0ghz? Would the cooler be able to handle that and what temperatures would I get approximately?
Thanks!

You should be able to get 4 gigs on the cpu without any issues, however, i'd get cheaper peripherals and get a gtx 770, whether it be from asus or msi ,also i'd get a wd(not green) or a hitachi hdd.
Another thing would be getting a 2ms response time display, since usually 5 ms monitors tend to suffer from perceptible ghosting.

Oh, one more thing, the ram you picked is quite tall, I don't know if they will fit under the cooler, try https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/part/gskill-memory-f314900cl9d8gbsr

I had only 4 complaints on this build. I switched the SSD to an 840 Evo because they are much more reliable and a tad bit cheaper. Next, I switched out the graphics card. It's still the 760, just 10 bucks cheaper and from EVGA, which is a great company. Then I changed the case. This Corsair is much better for the price with room up to 8 additional fans and great cable management. Finally, I switched the monitor. You about dropped 160 bucks on a monitor that didn't have an hdmi input, which is kinda ridiculous 😀. I wish you had this fantastic keyboard available to you guys though:http://www.amazon.com/Perixx-PX-1100-Backlit-Keyboard-Illuminated/dp/B00AQMUE30/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1398525310&sr=8-2&keywords=perrix

Thanks a lot for your input, I appreciate it, but for this build with the 770, since I am going to try some light OCing in the future would I need a better PSU?

Thanks for your input! I'll look into some different peripherals and see what I can do! Because frankly that 770 would be godlike aha.

Yeah the 770 is a BOSS card. The only time you may a want a bigger power supply is if you plan to Sli them and turn this rig into Rambo on speed 😵..
