I have made this build and want to know if this case can fit my ssd, since the case doesnt have a 3.5 form factor slot, how do i make that work? Also is this build good for its price? Any suggestions about what i can do to make it better without a big price difference?

The case has 6 internal 3.5" bays, that can be used to secure 3.5" drives (HDDs) or 2.5" drives (your SSD), so you're fine. It's just a different mounting situation, and will be pretty obvious when you see it.

As for the build, it's solid - with the exception of the PSU (not great quality) and the case (overpriced).....you could opt for a little cheaper motherboard too (but I assume you're going for a Black/White color setup?)

There are also budget SSD option,s but the 850 Evo is still 'king'.

Doesn't save a bunch, but gets you a quality PSU & Case for a little cheaper (although 750W is totally overkill, you can't go wrong for the price)

I get liking fully-modular better, but focus more on the quality than the modular aspect. The only hardwired cables are the ATX, CPU & PCIe, which you'll be using anyway.

Look to the SuperNOVA G2, GS or G3 for fully-modular if that's your thing.

The SuperNOVA line is mostly good, with the NEX subset not being as good quality.

A little reading as far as what makes a good PSU, and some ideas of options:
http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html

B2, G2, GS, GQ, G3, T2, P2 etc, all really good with only modularity and efficiency differentiating between them (mostly). The older models (B1, G1 etc) are not as good, and luckily, harder to find today anyway. The NEX line as a whole is a good couple of steps down in quality.
