I plan on overclocking the cpu a bit, and I plan on upping the megahertz on the graphics card (the reason for my purchase of a 270 instead of a 270x).

RAM is way overpriced. Get normal 1600mhz stuff for $75.
PSU is not great. Change to an XFX550. MUCH better unit.
A full tower is WAY overkill for this build. Get a normal mid tower.
Ditch the LEDs, Sata cables (motherboard comes with 2), and the 4 pack of fans. None of that is needed and the LEDs can be added later.
USe all the saved money to get a 270x.

Sure, but I have 3 Sata units (dvd writer, ssd, hdd) so I need the cables. Its not a big deal though, only 2 bucks. I'll change the psu as I've heard astonishingly good things about xfx. The led lights would look cool, but your right, I shouldnt be wasting money when I'm on this budget. As for the full tower, I'm a first time pc builder so I was looking for the extra hand room, but now I'm worried about psu cable length so I'll just go mid-tower. Fans are overkill, and can you recommend ram that is a good price? Thanks for the help.

Buy a single Sata cable as the mobo comes with one.
A full tower case, if you have never seen one, is HUGE. It will be as tall as your desk. They are enormous. Get a normal mid-tower. Building in a full tower is often harder because things have to reach further. I strongly recommend a mid-tower.
For fans, as long as you have 3 you are good to go. (front intake, top exhaust, rear exhaust) More fans DOES NOT mean a cooler computer.

Ok, I found some Kingston 1866 mhz ram for 75 bucks, its 2x4gb. The speed, I know, doesnt make a huge difference, but should I go for it cause its the same price?

Go for it. The difference in speed will not make any difference. MAYBE 1-2fps in games where it really matters, but no nothing you will ever be able to feel.
