I did not include an ssd but i included additional storage which you can disregard. I also included an unlocked processor and z97 board in case you changed your mind about overclocking in the future as you requested an aftermarket heat sink. You also have the option of purchasing a secondary gpu in the future thanks to two pci 3.0 slots and a more than adequate psu. I will post an alternative build below removing these possibilities.
