Am tight on my budget
1020$

ASUS H87-PRO
EVGA GeForce GTX 750 Ti Superclocked
CoolerMaster K281 MidTower Case
Intel® Core™ i5-4570 Processor (6M Cache, up to 3.60 GHz)
Corsair CX500M Bronze 500W Power Supply
Seagate 1000 GB SATA Hard Drive
Corsair Vengeance 8GB (4x2GB) 1600MHz with XMP 1.3
LG DVD Writer 24X Optical Drive SATA

Can i change anything to save some money and is there anything missing :)?
 
Solution
At this budget, I would aim the money on the GPU, not on 16GB of RAM, so maybe you can get 8GB and a much better GTX760. But change that CPU for a 4670k, or without the k if you dont want to overclock it.
