I didn`t include a CPU cooler, because you didn`t mention if you want it or not.
However, we can cut some corners and get it in there, or you can add it later on.
I would still recommend to stick with the CPU and mobo, in order to have the OC option available, even if you`re not interested right now.

I upgraded the ssd, and found a combo deal on a slightly less powerful gpu, and I upgraded the motherboard, I would stay away from the windforce 780, as i had a bad experience with that.
