Seems quite a good build. Personally I still think an SSHD is a better investment now then a HDD+SSD combo.
As for the PSU, gold rated might be a bit overkill. Personally I work with a bronze rated (budget system) PSU, but silver might do the trick for you.

Bronze/silver is probably the way to go.  The SSHD seems more convienent and less money but how would it compare speed wise to an SSD?

It basically caches data you use the most, so it's all dependant on how big the SSD cache is. But for me it sharply increased boot up times compared to an HDD. Loading times in games won't be dramatically better as with an SSD, but the Seagate Barracuda I'm using is still fast enough for me. I could add an SSD later if I want. If you really want top notch speed, go get an SSD. But if you're willing to compromise a bit, an SSHD gives some decent advantages over traditional HDD's and they're not very expensive.
