Get a desktop drive not 2.5" travelstar should get 1Tb for the price.
The T4 cooler is nothing special and suggest Hyper 212 EVO.
Missing PSU but XFX TS550 is worth a look.

You've selected a laptop drive as your storage drive. Although speed is not normally a significant issue on data drives, you may have selected the slowest there is, and would probably notice. I'd look for a 7200RPM data drive. I usually buy Western Digital hard drives.
Unless your optical drive is Blu-Ray, you're paying about $40 too much for it.
If you are interested in overclocking, you will likely want an aftermarket cooler. If so, I recommend a 120mm direct-touch tower-style cooler other than the frequently parroted Hyper 212 EVO. That one isn't a bad cooler, but is a horrid bang/buck Loser compared to its competition. You'll get similar performance (+/- 1C-3C depending on fans), for 30%-40% less.

why don't you get the same monitors? different monitors look weird.

Sorry, but I chose any 500gb hdd as I actually have no idea what my current hdd is... but it works well.

Ok, if you move your current drive into your new system as a data drive, you will still need to install Windows fresh on your new SSD, and re-install all your programs; just so you know.

Doesn't really matter for me because I'll play games on the BenQ and other guff on the HP... actually, I may as well get 2 because I just noticed that it would look weird and I won't lose any money. I feel like a hypocrite now...

Is there a specific reason for the $60 optical drive. You can get a dvd burner for $14-16

Because Yolo.
