Can i suggest a motherboard with a better UEFI.. A good ASRock board or mid range ASUS. You wont regret that trust me. That and they are typically better boards then Giga Bust...

Uhmm not judging the wireless as I have no idea what your netowrk is like. The rest of it looks great; Might I suggesta smaller SSD and get a nice fat 1-2 TB hard drive (i.e WD black) as games need a lot of storage.

If you can source an XFX or Seasonic power supply they are typically better PSU's.. XFX is basically seasonic just cheaper

What's wrong with blues? Only difference between them I can recall off the top of my head is that blacks make more noise, but the blues have a lesser (2 vs 5 year) warranty.
