I left in your 4GB GTX 960, but you could save a few dollars by moving to a 2GB GPU.

CPU Boss is not reliable. Check for reviews here, or at Anandtech, or other reliable site. You can also probably find some youtube videos comparing them. You're also getting faster DDR4 RAM (running at 2133, not 2400) which may benefit some games:
