- Perhaps a bigger SSD, even though it's not a priority.
- A Caviar Black instead of a Blue, even though Blue is middle of the road.
- Perhaps a better PSU: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html
- A different motherboard, which is SLI ready and not just CrossFire X ready.
- A bigger case, for more room, options and potentially also longevity. As you can re-use a good case many times.

you can drop the dvd drive if you're just getting it for the windows install, W10 installs via a USB stick now. Maybe a higher end PSU, for what you're spending getting just a bronze power supply seems like a misapplication of funds. A larger SSD would be nice, but at 250 you'll be able to fit all your core programs and a couple of fatty AAA games.

Thanks! Here's my new list: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/x2ZCBm
I didn't realize that motherboard isn't SLI ready. That would've sucked :p. Do you have any suggestions on a better case. Also, I was thinking of switching to Windows 7 and just upgrading to 10 later. Do you think that would be a good idea or not? Thanks in advance!

No worries.

- Not being SLI ready isn't bad if you don't want to SLI. There's disadvantages to more than one GPU in a PC.
- Check out cases from Cooler Master. It's a matter of preference a lot of the time. I like the HAF X.
- Preference yet again, with OS. Most people are very happy with 7; I dislike 10 for many reasons.
