Hey guys, been awhile since I messed around with building computers. This is what I plan on buying soon. It's a little over my budget, so if you guys have any input it would be greatly appreciated!

You're not a noob at all, everything seems fine, apart from stuff like monitor and extras (which are preferential) the PC seems fine, if you don't want to go over your budget you could just not buy an SSD, i've survived without one, it's more of a luxury, now for the PSU you could buy this http://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1550sxxb... it's not as expensive and i've heard it's good...rest is all fine

EDIT= i just read how expensive yours really was xd, my apologies, but i believe the one i input was of better quality :p

Do you plan to overclock? If you do, you would need a 4670k processor. Also, I have heard that the lower end MSI motherboards have some overheating issues, try to find a gigabyte, asus or asrock mobo for around the same price. For the psu, the EVGAs are not great (except the Supernova G2s which are really good). The XFX posted by Remixex is a good option (XFX psus are made using a Seasonic OEM so they are great quality).
