I would leave out the tiny SSD and invest that money to a better PSU.
From Antec, Corsair, Silverstone, Seasonic or XFX.

So leave out the SSD.

Switch to this mobo instead:
Gigabyte GA-Z68A-D3H-B3 $146

Get this PSU instead: it will let you SLI with a 2nd 560Ti if needed.
Corsair TX750 V2 $144

And get this for memory, will make sure it is 1.5V
Gskill ripjawsX 2x4GB 1.5V CAS8 1600Mhz $95


This will add a few bucks to the build, and no SSD, but i think you will still be happy with it and will have better expandability.

Performance should be great up to 1920x1080.
