Alright. First off, the cooler master. It is very loud, and had been known to not fit correctly in sever types of cases, so run your dimensions first. Next, I would suggest moving up a step the Power Supply Unit to the 750 watt. Just because you don't want a PSU that will barely pull your system, and will allow you room to upgrade and add on in the future.

I have a friend that builds computers as a hobby. I haven't seen him much lately but he's on Steam. Might be able to set you guys up.

I just finished building my third computer. It's becoming a hobby for me. First I build mine, then my fathers, and then a friends.if I had to choose one thing to not be cheap on, it's the CPU. A lot of people are like "oh,  this is an intel equivalent for less that half the cost!". It just isn't true. Yes, out of the box, for like 1 month, it can be considered an Intel equivalent. But you really are paying for value, not the brand.

Also, why do you have two different hard drives?

Really it's either/or. The solid state is more reliable and sturdy. But is only 250 gigs. The other is 2terabyte and less expensive. I'd go with just the solid state drive for now, if you have the funds, then add another identical drive later if needed. The nice part about hard drives is that you just need to open the case and plug them in, and they are ready to go. Your case will likely fit at least 8 of them.

I also notice that you don't have an optical drive (disk drive) although your case supports one.

If I may suggest a website, pcpartpicker.com is a wonderful tool to tell you what you need and what is compatible with each other. It will also help highlight popular options with reviews.
Click "start a build", then choose your case (Senty gs 6000r), then choose a part (the parts that you have listed are going to be in the lists) for each category. It will also let you know where to find the best deal on each part!
