$800 Gaming Rig

[Fricey]

So this is a build I decided to build for myself http://pcpartpicker.com/p/WywQWZ. I know it says $700 there but at Micro Center it cost almost $800. I was wondering if there is anything I could do to make the build better.

You can drop it like 20$ if you get a 4460 instead of the 4590, performance in games will be the same.

maybe downgrade to a 4460, and save up a bit more money for an ssd

If it's too much then keep the 960, or pick up any SSD on sale.

I'm sorry but I'm not sure what you mean, could you please specify? Thanks

Is there a difference between the white MSI R9 380 and the red Msi R9 380 because there is like a $20 difference betweem them.

Mainly the cooler just looks different. Just get the cheaper version if you want, but keep in mind that it may only have 2gb of VRAM, I haven't checked.
