Budget is around 1400-1600. I could save money on the ssd. Im hoping to have a build that can play newer games like dark souls 3 when it comes out on highest or 2nd highest graphics. my monitor is 23 inches 1080p.

If you are going to spend that much on an SSD might as well get a 950 PRO seeing as it offers better performance (at a larger capacity)

or 256GB: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820147466

Might want to consider a 2x8GB kit of ram instead of 4x4.

 

[boboh24]

is 2x8 better than 4x4?

 

[Gam3r01]

Generally its more recommended since you dont gain anything going 4x4 over 2x8, but you have the option to add in two more 8GB sticks later on if you go 2x8.

is everything else good?

The rest looks solid other than the RAM and SSD.

for the ssd u posted would a Lycom DT-120 M.2 PCIe to PCIe 3.0 x4 Adapter help?

Your selected motherboard has an M.2 slot, you dont need an adapter card.
