Cool, one thing i noticed though is that my CPU cooler is a lot bigger than a thought it was.. It'll fit in my case right?

If you can fit it into your budget, get a 256GB SSD. Its nice to have spare room on it rather than trying to save space. Especially if you plan to put a couple of streaming/editing/ programs or games onto it. Personally I would get a bigger slightly slower ssd than a smaller slightly faster one if budget was tight. You shouldn't need to buy hdmi cables. You will get ones with the monitors.

Already bought the build, I don't plan on using the SSD for anything else besides Visual Studio, Windows 8.1, and maybe another program or two. Thanks for the suggestions though!
