He got it spot on, I would've gone a similar route. You can simply find the same ones on that website, just copy paste it in the search bar.

Seriously drop the 760 sli & go for a gtx970 for less money.
Its a strong enough card to run anything on its own & the 2gb vram on those 760's will be hugely limiting on newer titles.The 4gb vram on the 970 is good enough reason alone to buy it over those.

this is as good as it gets if u can stretch the budget a bit id get a better PSU and that's pretty much it ..

maybe change the case to something u prefer

also sli 760 will be bad that card only has 2gb of Vram games are using somewhere around 2.5gb+ now

also a single GTX970 will run just as fast consume less power Overclock more and can still be Sli'ed in the future

if u dont plan to OC u can drop the I5 to 4690 non K and drop the CPU cooler unless u prefer to keep everything quite
