Is it just for gaming? Unless you'll be video editing you won't need that i7. Also a few quality issues - that SSD is poor quality and slow, and the power supply is poor quality. Otherwise, a great build. These would be my changes:

Thanks for your feedback, it really helped, Would it be able to handle gta 5 ultra settings 1080 at 60 fps?
