I am planning to buy a high speed computer with the following specs which I will build myself.
Purpose of use? well I don't game but I just want a really fast pc, also it is important that the hardware works well with linux so let me know if any of the below hardware has issue with it.
==========================
INTEL CORE I7 4770K 3.50G/8M/S1150 $330.00
KINGSTON HYPERX BLU 1600MHZ DDR3 8GB KIT CL9 BLACK $89.00 
S1150 MICRO ATX ASUS B85M-G B85 $85.00
2.5 SATA3 120.0 CORSAIR SSD NEUTRON GTX CSSD-N120GBGTXB-BK $139
525W ATX COOLER MASTER EXTREME II POWER $59.00

=========================
$613 in Canadian dollars

2 Any better brand or model from the above list you think I should swap?
3 Is this a good bang for the buck?

Samsung pro is fastest. Cheper choice here is sandisk ultra plus. Here I can buy 256GB near same price as 128GB samsung pro do have.

For linux use and other use as well Id look mobo with Intel lan chip. I have had tree intel lan controllers and they work fine...

Intel® Core™ i5-4670K Processor will out perform the INTEL CORE I7 4770K ? by best bang for the buck I mean cheaper hardware but the same performance, I am comfortable spending 700$.

What SDD do you recommend?
