Hmm. 

What if the budget is increased to $750?

Would it make any difference?

I'd throw in a 120gb SSD, maybe get a nicer case/psu. But neither of the latter are really necessary. The next big upgrade would be to a 1070 (and a 6700k).

How about more ram?

8gb is probably more than enough. But you could add another 8gb stick.

Hmm.

Seems good to me, but that's not my choice to decide.

 

Thanks guys, and please continue to suggest more if you can.
