After months and hours trying to figure out the pieces I -think- I'm ready to order the parts. As a first time building I'm a little nervous spending so much money if I'm not 100% sure everything ok, so I come to you for your input! Am I ready to click away my money? Or is there something I should address? I really would appreciate your input, thanks. :)

Nice build! Maybe double the ram for future's sake? Oh and I recommend the Samsung 850 Evo personally but the MX100 is no slouch. Like I said it's a sick build at a good price.
 
More RAM is always good, but if for now he stays at 8GB, it's plenty for now, and he can always upgrade later!

Looks like a good build, good to see you've gone for a decent power supply as well, people often try to save money on that!
