What do you guys think of this build for decent gaming rig?

Im going a bit over budget but I figure if it last me a while it'll be worth it, but if you could get the price down a bit that would help without sacrificing to much performance.

Do you guys recommend changing out any parts?

thanks so much for reading guys.
 
Professionals charge money, how much are you prepared to send me in small, unmarked bills :)

You needed a higher-performance PSU, and I saved a bit of money on the case. It's a good one.

Do you have the rest of the parts? RAM, storage ODD....

I stuck with the same vendors as you. You might be able to save a bit elsewhere.

When you visit a retail store, it makes you easy to select an item when you get plenty of options in your hand. At least the difference could make you understand, which of them you're going for. I ain't an professional but could spare some useful advice ( free of cost) :)
Considering the above budget, slightly lower with the Intel's new skylake build.

Another suggestion would be, Wait few more months until the pascal from Nvidia/ Greenland from AMD gets released (2016).
