Original price is $716.05 before rebates.
Or if you could pass on the SSD for now you can get a i5-7500.

Original price is 756.06 before rebates.
Considering a SSD really has no effect on gaming besides load times I would go with the second build with the i5.

^ Sweet build.
For 80 dollars though I would take either the EVGA B2 750w or a Seasonic 650 watts.

It's a good build, well balanced and good parts. The only nitpick I can point out is the PSU as you may want to go with a semi or fully modular PSU as it will be much easier for cable management/building.
