Nope, looks good. 

Although, I would consider going with an EVGA G2 750w psu instead -- it's the same cost after MIR, but is a better PSU. 

Also get an ssd: https://pcpartpicker.com/part/a-data-internal-hard-drive-asx900s3128gmc

 

/well other than the phantom, but thats a personal choice....so

Go a bit easier on the CPU, get a better power supply and maybe an SSD

 

 

Get a better PSU and maybe an SSD, otherwise its solid :)

The PSU is actually quite good.

Never heard of that brand, tbh, and I have been building PCs for years :D

Rosewill is Newegg's in-house brand, their products are usually not the greatest, but the Capstone is actually a very good psu.

Good quality Superflower built psu. At least johnnyGuru thinks so, http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story&reid=266. It is not modular, but the case should have enough room for hiding the unused cables.

 

If the budget can take it an ssd would be a very good addition.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.

I dont really want to go over 1k for the whole PC, so I was considering adding an SSD later. Maybe they'll will have some break through and become cheap soon! :D

I wouldn't count on it.

I forgot who said it, but someone at ces said that it would be years before ssds come even close to hdd prices.
