I would switch out the 960 with a RX 480, or you could wait til the GTX 1060 comes out

That CPU cooler is just as the stock cooler. You don't need an aftermarket CPU cooler since your CPU is locked.

The SSD is mediocre, get a Samsung 850 EVO or ADATA SP550 instead

The GPU is very expensive for what it is. Get a R9 380 for $160 or a Rx 480 for $200 or $250

The PSU is garbage, get a EVGA G2, GS, GQ, B2, Anything from Seasonic or XFX (Excluding the XT), Corsair RMi, RMx, AX, AXi, HX and HXi.

Bluray drives are really not needed at all. GTA V came on 7 DVDs and No blurays.
