    I would change the storage to a regular SATA drive with double the storage for the same price or cheaper.  I can speak from experience on this because I purchased the Intel 750 series SSD thinking the incredible speed would be awesome.  The truth is, I can't tell the difference between it and my 850 EVO on my laptop.  Although it is fun to have the best, I was disappointed that it didn't make any noticeable difference.
     
    Go ahead and pick up an 850 EVO 500 gb or 1TB. You'll be much happier with more storage than extra speed you can't perceive.
     
    I would not get that GPU, try to find one with a better cooler.  The blower style coolers are very loud and do not perform well.
     
    And for the mouse, be sure you try it first.  The RAT is great quality, but the ergonomics are not for everyone.  I returned my RAT 9 because it was way too heavy for fast FPS games, and I had way too many accidental clicks on the left button.

    Ohh didnt know about that bundle, thanks for letting me know so I'll go with the H110. I'll do some monitoring on the GPU prices and if I see the 480 for not much difference I'll take it. I was going with the tesseract sw since the beginning so I'll stay with it. You certainly helped me a lot haha big thanks! @paincow
