1. Chose a better board, that MSI is junk. Also was 5$ cheaper.
2. Dropped the SSD, its pointless to go for an SSD if you are not spending more than 1000$, that money is better spent elsewhere, like graphics.
3. MUCH MUICH MUCH better graphics card added.
4. Needed a better PSU.

Now this is a little over budget but very much worth it. If needed you can drop to an R9 270 or 270x to save a bit of cash.
