It's for gaming & I have a 1920 x 1080 monitor. I do like your input and left out the SSD because I don't mind the slower boot times while saving a bit of money but they way you built it is great :) I'll keep this in mind!

If you really want the overclockable cpu you are going to need to drop something most likely the SSD.

If you want good 1080p gaming then I'd upgrade the GPU as much as you can. Also, you gotta go for a less expensive mobo like the one I suggested. Also, you could drop the Cryorig and add it later. By saving money you could invest that in a GPU and that'll give you better gaming performance! Last, SSD isn't just boot times; once you get one you'll never go back. The entire system becomes snappier and games load faster. SSDs will push HDDs out one day.
