So I think I finally found what I want for my gaming rig! Let me know what you guys think about the build and/or what you think I should change for best optimization and best bang for my buck without losing any quality. The part that I might change is the power supply. I might try and jump up to a 750W psu just to make sure I won't short out on anything.

780 on the same budget. You had some way overpriced things. This build is the same or better quality and has a 780 in it. This is what I would do.

750w is pointless for your first build or even this one. your first build will barely pull MAX 450w under 100% load. People always WAY overestimate the PSU they need.
