I am new to building comps but want to build my own so I can get the most bang for my buck. I pretty much only play LoL and my wife does some minor photo editing. I want a comp that can last 3-4 years without needing an upgrade. I have done a bit of research and put together the following build. Please let me know if this will all work and if it is compatible. I found everything on newegg to be the cheapest price. The whole build will total $515 including shipping. I am looking to reuse my 700w power supply, wi-fi, and DVD-R. Thanks in advance!

my immediate suggestion:
1 TB drive is fine.
get an AS Rock 970 chipset instead (you arent doing crossfire)
replace the 7790 with a 7850
replace the Phenom II with a FX 4300 or 6300

and don't forget the PSU. you need a 450-500W 80+ Bronze from Corsair, XFX, Seasonic, Antec, PC Power and Cooling or Slverstone
