Need a last minute compatibility check for all my components!

First off, don't buy 2 8gb Ram modules. They may not be compatible for a dual-channel setup. You can also save money.

Also, for 20 dollars more you can get the Tom's HW recommended 240gb SSD. It's worth the extra 20 dollars.

Might be better options in a couple of other spots, but haven't delved that far into it yet.

:update:

Ok, swapped out some parts for either better versions or cheaper options.

Ram saves you money, and your motherboard will just downclock it to 2133mhz. I couldn't find the Tom's Best SSD's article, but found a solid 240gb model. Chose to stick with the Radeon 480 and found one that is clocked just slightly higher stock. I like the though about going with the nVidia 1060 though, so if the extra 20 dollars or so is in your budget, do it.

That Psu isn't that good honestly. Found a comparable SeaSonic for 4 dollars more. Much better.
