Here are the components:

I already have a monitor. Even though the parts on partspicker are not from newegg I will likely buy everything from them (most of the stuff listed is on sale atm). This is my first build. Already considered an SSD but going to skip out on that.

You did pretty well for yourself within that budget. I adjusted only 2 things. 1 is the gpu to the evga superclocked version only $5 more and you get the most out of the card from the factory plus EVGA has really great customer service (ASUS is good too but why not get a little more out of your gpu; ocing yourself is not a guarantee and voids warranty $5 more well worth it for most but you don't HAVE to change this just thought you may want to consider it). Second, I replaced the HDD saving you $25. Always backup your data regardless of brand of hard drives anyways. It's very unlikely that spending $25 more on the WD over the Seagate will give you any more reliability. Even enterprise grade hdd's...

It's very unlikely that spending $25 more on the WD over the Seagate will give you any more reliability. Even enterprise grade hdd's fail and Seagate is just as reputable. If you change nothing you're still good. Just what I would do if I were helping on this particular build.
