Get the 3GB version of the same GPU for $50 less, if you want to save $50. I'd suggest only getting the SSD for now, no HDD, and spend the extra $30-$40 on a better PSU;

and a nice cooler;

If you really want the HDD straight away, the EVGA PSU will be fine. It's lower quality and non-modular though. You can also get the Cryorig M9i at a later date. It would be easier to get it straight away, but you can use the stock cooler with the i5 for now, and add the cooler later.
