Skip on the CPU cooler and SSD. If this is for gaming (assuming it is), you're better off on putting your money on a better CPU and GPU:

What softwares are you using? A lot of times CAD softwares benefit from lots of CPU horsepower and CUDA (except autodesk fusion and inventor products, rip me). I suggest getting a used beefcake xeon, or a newer less beefcake xeon and like a used quadro.
