Get a hard drive now and buy the ssd later. Also, you want a Z170 motherboard for that CPU and a 380 is usually faster than the 960

There's a lot you could do to cut costs.. Since you chose a h170 motherboard, drop the cpu down to a 6500, choose a cheaper air cooler, go with a 60hz monitor instead of 144... go with 8gb ram instead of 16.. choose a less expensive case.. 

 

There isn't going to much of a hit to performance with any of that..
