You should also get an HDD. It is a better deal, and you will not have to worry about the read-writes you have left.
You should also go for Win 8.1
If you want an intel build

It's a good gaming build, but you could do a lot better for the money. You should also bear in mind that you'll need an Ethernet cable to connect to the internet as you have no WiFi card in your build. You say that you're on a $900 budget, though- I'd recommend swapping out the GTX 960 for an R9 290X. You'll get even better performance, easily hitting 60FPS on max settings in practically any game.

I'd add an aftermarket CPU Cooler, Don't use the Stock Cooler.
