In a few days, I'll be ordering my parts. I'm just looking for some final opinions on my build.

Would you change anything?

Get 1 TB WD blue instead of 500 GB the price difference between 500gb and 1 tb is 6$ so i think buying a 500 gb is a loss.

The case doesn't have front USB 3.0 ports so you cannot utilize the USB 3.0 headers of your board.
If you are planning for future SLI then its better you get a 750 watt PSU otherwise you have to upgrade the PSU later while doing SLI.

Get rid of SSD and you can afford WD green 2TB. Also switch memory to cruicial 1600MHz and you can afford WD black 2TB.
