is this gonna be a gaming rig? 

 

if so you dont need a i7... drop the i7 for like a 4460 or 4590 and get yourself a better gpu, the 750ti isnt that great a gpu at that budget

 

give me a few ill make some modifications to the build for ya

Why have 2 separate 1TB drives when you can have 1 2TB drive for cheaper?

SSDs can be stuck just about anywhere, as they have no spinning platters to worry about. If you have room for the hard drives, you can stick the SSD wherever the SATA cable will reach.

You'll need to check through a few reviews for the finer details of the case itself. This one suggest that mounting two 3.5 HDDs in the top bays would almost block the PSU intake (1cm to spare), and prove incompatible with bigger GPUs (750 may be fine tho). The likes of the 970 probably won't fit with an HDD mounted above it, and using the bay on the other side would block the main source of cool air to the PSU.

 

While many ITX boxes are 'compatible' with 3.5 inch drives, this is just a nice way of saying that the case has mounting points and/or drive bays. That doesn't unfortunately make them easy/convenient to fit, or fully compatible with gaming systems etc. Both 5.25 and 3.5 inch bays will often sacrifice airflow to other components and could increase temps quite a bit in a fully kitted out system.
