Nice build in my opinion. Are you going to overclock? If not, then there's no reason to go for a K series processor. Otherwise you should consider adding an aftermarket cooler.

You could always pick up the aftermarket cooler later on if you are overclocking.

Go with a cheaper card, ASUS is a reliable manufacturer. It can support a nice overclock.

SSD and HDD, went with more reliable and better ones.
