Get a cheaper case, Get a cheaper power supply, Get a cheaper motherboard and cooler and for the love of god don't get two 960s 4gbs. For 1500$ you can get two 970s.

Better go with a single card like a 970 or a 980 not 960 sli.

 

Swap the case and the psu and get a 250GB SSD

Get a MX100 SSD. Don't exactly trust OCZ for SSD's. Also, don't get a liquid cooler for that chip. Get the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO

I really want sli. so should I get better gpu and plan getting another gpu later?

WHY DO YOU NEED SLI? If anything, you should just use a more powerfull single card. Less space and power requirements, less heat, and equal performance. JUST DON'T SPEND MONEY ON SLI OF WEAK SAUCE CARDS.
