Everything is totally fine. Good build. I'd choose an EVGA GTX card, but that's just personal preference.

This is a way better build than the one you chose in the first place. Ok lets get started

-Better cpu cooler meaning cooler temps.
-Degraded from the maximus hero to the msi gd65. They are both really good. The maximus is more of a overclock motherboard.
-Added a 120gb ssd to your build
-MSI graphics card works great with msi motherboard. I know personally because I have that combo.
-A bit cheaper case but still provides room for all other parts
-Way better psu and its 80+ gold efficiency.
-Everything else is the same. Hope you enjoy you build
