It's a no go for now on the SSD. There's a world wide shortage because of the swap from 2d to 3D nand. I'll have to buy, take a smaller SSD or wait for a 256 to free up >:E

Why man? Don't go for a laptop. Build yourself a system. A proper freaking Desktop!

I did a month ago and it took me 2 weeks to get all the parts needed.

Here are my specs:

Core i7 4.2 Ghz 7700K
Asus PRIME Z-270 A
Primary 480 GB SSD + 2 TB SSHD (hyrbid)
GPU Gigabyte Radeon Rx 480 8GB
Corsair v650
Corsair Gaming Keyboard + Mouse

This looks like a really good build. Congratulations. Would you mind telling why have you chosen Radeon Rx480 where you could have got Gforce 1070/1080?

Yeah good point I should have. But it was costing me a difference of 100 for 1070 and a 200 for 1080. I was on a tight budget.
But listen to the good news grace, I have already ordered a Pascal for me now. Will be shipped here in a week or two. :D
It is the most powerful card for gaming with Pascal architecture. Search it online. Nvidia GeForce Titan xp. It will blow you away!

If you got a Titan XP for gaming, you're an idiot. The Ti is cheaper and performs better.
