I would recommend you get two 4GB sticks of RAM to take advantage of dual channel. What resolution to you plan to game at? If your doing 1080p then you can easily save the $200 by getting a different graphics card.

You can play high/ultra with an R9 280x, or go with the R9 290 and maybe drop down a generation on the processor.

I would also check out the corsair mx100 256GB SSD, a little cheaper than the ADATA you have selected and it has really good reviews.
