http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gskill-memory-f314900cl8d8gbxm is some impeccable RAM. Get this instead.

 

http://pcpartpicker.com/part/corsair-power-supply-cs550m Would get this PSU instead of a 750W one unless you plan to CF in the near future.

 

The rest looks good to me.

Is the case, SSD and monitor in the budget?

they were, sorry for any clarification issues, I already got them for like 340 and were all delivered within 2 days with free shipping. the ssd even came with watchdogs for free (not the greatest perk ever) and the monitor was a LG IPS 5ms response time for like $119 so I think I did pretty good.

I know 750 watt is overkill but want the psu to last a long time and it has good reviews.
