Hi bonefish101..... That's a real nice build.
I don't usually suggest updates after ordered, but since you asked 
I would change the EVGA 750 for the other non-b1 unit for $43. A gold vs bronze supply, better quality, more efficient, fully modular vs semi modular and double the warranty. You could ask DS just to verify its the G2. Change the DS vortex cooler for the Corsair h100. Both have similar performance but the Corsair carries a 5 year warranty and the DS branded might only be covered under their 2 year parts with 4 year warranty. Again, you could double check the warranty with them. The rest is right on and good luck.
