I wouldn't even mess with the 2.5" SSD, spend the extra money and get an m.2 versionhttp://pcpartpicker.com/list/HMnyKZ
D14 keeps your K CPU ice cold and you won't even hear it.
r5>r4 same price fixes the r4s shortcomings, you may want to add another silent fan or two-the noise insulation can make things hot.
I personally avoid Asrock and MSI products like the plague. I picked the tried and true Asus mobo, but there are solid Gigabyte models in that price range too.
You'll hardly notice a difference between 2400mhz ram and 3000mhz, plus G.Skill is highly regarded. Never heard of that other brand
That mini itx card has a great price, but it'll be loud, hot, and won't have much overclocking headroom. EVGA GPUs are the way to go.
Back to EVGA, you chose an outdated and inferior PSU. Get the G2- trust me. I have the NEX- it's loud, less energy efficient, and inferior in product quality to the g2.
As for your SSD- black Friday should have those bad boys dipping close to $100(I saw them as low as $130 last and they came with a solid game).
GeIl has been around awhile, I had a set in a Socket A board. They were chrome iirc.
The Phanteks PHTC14PE runs neck and neck with the DH-15 and is cheaper, it goes on sale often also. It looks way better also.
