Do you already have those components, or are you going to buy them now? I made a few changes, without sacrificing any performance. The case is included in this part list, too.

I would change the PSU. While that thermaltake is decent, it comes from Thermaltake which have made a TON of junk PSUs over the years. I would stick with a more credible brand. Antec, XFX, Seasonic.

Might take a look at the HAF 912

Tradesman1 :

The HAF 912 doesn't have frontal USB 3.0 ports.

Didn't see anything asking for them

I generally always add a USB-3 card reader with builds anyway
