I like it, maybe just ditch the ssd for now and get one later, use that money to buy a slightly better graphics card and motherboard.
Change the 6350 to the 6300 for better overclocking as the 6300 is a higher wattage chip. This should allow for a higher overclock.

I thought that may as well do it because he might overclock and a XFX550 wasn't much more money but if he wants to change some stuff here is a slightly altered build:

Definitely not the LE asus motherboard . Too weak , no overclocking
Either the ASUS M5A97 R2.0
or even better the gigabyte suggested above

Definitely the FX 6300 . Identical part with a cheaper cooler , and since you are replacing the cooler anyway its the smart choice

im at least 10 builds in a row without a hitch, apparently the 750 has poor reviews but ive not used it in a build. I've used the 430 500 and 600watt versions in heavy overclocking or full load situations and haven't had an issue. Seems like people are cheaping out and not calculating the correct wattage.
