So I'm planning on building myself a new gaming rig later on this year and was hoping to get some opinions on my current decisions for my new build. Originally I had a budget of $1500 but have since managed to increase that a good amount to $2000.

OS: Windows 10 Home (64-bit)
CPU: Intel Core i7-5820K 3.3GHz 6-Core Processor
Cooler: Corsair H50 57.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-X99-SLI ATX LGA2011-3 Motherboard
RAM: G.Skill TridentZ Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3200 Memory
OS SSD: Samsung 840 EVO 120GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Media Drive 1: Western Digital BLACK SERIES 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Media Drive 2: Western Digital BLACK SERIES 4TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Case: Cooler Master HAF 932 Advanced ATX Full Tower Case
Power: Corsair CX 750W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply

Currently this build is set to cost approx. $1850 and have a power consumption of approx. 550W.
Now although that does give me some wiggle room I still want to keep costs down on this rig (if at all possible). The 4TB HDD has already been bought and is currently in use for my current rig so that is one part that has to stay. I will be recording videos and editing them all on this so I need to be able to get that done relatively fast which is why I am going with the 5820K over what I originally picked out which was the new 6th Gen I7-6700K. As far as overlocking goes the only thing that I plan on overclocking (hopefully) is the CPU to 4.0GHz 24/7.

Now there are parts that I'm looking at swapping out:

1) Seeing as how I won't be overclocking the RAM would it be better to just go with G.Skill Ripjaws or stay with the Tridentz sticks?

2) Are there any other reliable SSDs out there smaller than 120GB seeing as how I will mostly only be using the SSD for a boot disk for Windows 10 which only requires 20GB of space to run.

3) If I'm able to overclock my CPU to 4.0GHZ 24/7 would it be possible to cut down on my power supply? I don't plan on doing SLI so approx. how much more power would my rig need if I overclocked it? Could I get away with a 650W power supply?

4) Anything else that an expert on here would recommend that would save me money (even just a little tiny bit) without losing performance (which I know is like an impossible thing to ask for with a lot of computer stuff)

So I've done some more tweaks after watching a ton of computer videos and went ahead and changed a couple things. I've changed the power supply from 750W down to 650W as Long said I could as well as changed the case from a Cooler Master HAF 932 Advanced to Fractal Design R4 w/window. Also as I am deciding to go with the Fractal Design I am going to be purchasing an additional 140mm case fan for the front which brings the cost from about $1850 down to about $1800 which for me is a huge life save if only by $50.

OS: Windows 10 Home (64-bit)
CPU: Intel Core i7-5820K 3.3GHz 6-Core Processor
Cooler: Corsair H50 57.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-X99-SLI ATX LGA2011-3 Motherboard
RAM: G.Skill TridentZ Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3200 Memory
OS SSD: Samsung 840 EVO 120GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Media Drive 1: Western Digital BLACK SERIES 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Media Drive 2: Western Digital BLACK SERIES 4TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Case: Fractal Design Define R4 w/Window (Black Pearl) ATX Mid Tower Case
Power: EVGA SuperNOVA NEX 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply
Case Fan(s): 1x Fractal Design FD-FAN-SSR2-140 66.0 CFM 140mm Fan

Any other suggestions for saving a little pocket cash?
