I will not recommend an i7-4770k for gaming, as games don't even use all of the cores on my recommended i5-4670k. I will also recommend a GTX 760 or 770 if you can afford it. I will also recommend a RM 650 watt PSU, as USB does not require a lot of watts. The HDD's will work, just make sure to set them up in the BIOS with the drive with the OS on first.
