I think thats everything. Total is around 1150+ at the moment before factoring in BenQ monitor, Razer mouse + KB, and anything else. I'm open to all critiques, suggestions, changes, etc.

Your build looks great. If I would comment, I would upgrade the PSU to Corsair RMx or RMi series. It will also come with 7 years warranty. RMx RMi series are one of the best PSU out there too.
