yes but might want to go for a msi board about the same price for color scheme

Well it should be, depending on the performance of the 480, though it might be in your best interest to get the 8GB version for a little more money since Vram usage has been going up in games as of late, otherwise the choices seem to be pretty frugal.

Not right now, but I want the ability to. I was thinking that right now, I wouldn't overclock, but in the future i would go water cooling and overclock.

It is getting higher than I wanted to go, but can you explain why you changed the things you did? This is my first build so I still don't really know why some things are better than others.

I changed the cooler to a better one. And I also changed the SSD to a better one.

Is a better cooler necessary for stock speeds, or was that for overclocking? What makes the new SSD better?

The better cooler was for overclocking. The Kingston SSD you selected isn't really that great: http://ssd.userbenchmark.com/Kingston-SSDNow-V300-240GB/Rating/1817
