It all looks good to me; however I have noticed you have gone with a 2TB HDD.

 

Have you already got a SSD? If not, I would get a SSD as the 'main' drive and HDD as the secondary drive. 

 

Adding to this, you can get a 1080 with much better performance for a bit cheaper; Do not know where you are living though. An example of the card is below:

Drop the speakers, excess fans and expensive keyboard and get a good SSD. That peripheral stuff you can get later.
