Looks like a solid build that should run most things at reasonably good settings. Motherboard may be a little overkill but it'll be more future proof that way.

Memory needs to be installed in pairs for dual channel mode and I gave you a better EVGA power supply made by Super Flower.

SSD is optional for your OS and most used programs.
