I think you'd really miss out if you didn't include an SSD in build such as this.
By the looks of things you'll be doing gaming, and the 1TB drive will be good for that, but for your OS and main apps, go for an SSD.
Trust me.

Im fine with the hard drive. I dont need a SSD. All they give you is faster boot times and faster load times in game. I play a lot of PC on my cousins PC compared to my old pc that I have now. There is no performance difference when I play on his SSD, vs my HDD

I'm also one of the people who have managed to avoid SSDs so far, so I can't speak for them or against them.
I think you could get away with the 550W version of that PSU.
I had a feeling that build looked familiar

You're right there's no improvement in games, except for load times of course.
I was recommending one to generally improve the performance when using other applications. Opening programs and booting faster is more convenient for me. But of course if that doesn't matter then don't get one.
I have a GTX 760 and its really good for single monitor gaming so the 770 you have chosen should kick ass!

Lol, wazz up Eduello. I changed around a few things from when I posted that. I was originally going with the r9 280x, but it came with terrible games. So I went with the gigabyte 770 because it comes with watch dogs
Id rather stick with the 650W because of overclocking and just having that extra headroom if I wanted some addons later.

This one guy I know from school is like "Get the 4GB version!' I told him no dumbass because Im only playing 1080p on a single monitor, 4gb would be stupid to get ATM.

Id rather stick with the 650W because of overclocking and just having that extra headroom if I wanted some addons later. Well I can understand both of those decisions
The headroom on the PSU might allow you to get a stronger GPU in a few years and it might offer a bit more efficiency since the PSUs will be running at a lower load percentage.
