It's essentially the same as this
http://pcpartpicker.com/guide/wTp9TW/500-beginner-gaming-pc-great-1080p-gaming-january-2016
but swapped some parts for slightly cheaper alternatives where I could. Also upgraded to an r9 380x.
Do you guys think these substitutions i made are acceptable? (ie i'm not sacrificing significant quality to save a few bucks)

Obviously will be using this for gaming, so i would like to use this for a few years before having to do any major upgrade. Any suggestions to improve the build would be greatly appreciated.

Why that one over the one in the build?

 

[turkey3_scratch]

Lots of reasons. Voltage rgegulation, ripple suppression, capacitor improvements. And check out the Tier List http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html

Thermaltake Smart is Tier 4. It's poor quality, probably Chinese capacitors, likely poor voltage regulation and ripple suppression.

Thanks
i'll spring for the better PSU. Anything else you see could be problematic?

Everything else is great! Very nice selection you got there.

Slight problem, that psu you suggested is not in stock at that price. 🙁

However, do you think a EVGA 600B 600W would do the trick here? I checked it on the tier list and it's tier 3, higher than that one i had originally chosen.

And no, don't get the 600B. If it's anything like the 500B, which in my eyes is Tier 4 worthy, I wouldn't get it. The 600B has never been reviewed.
