I'm building my first ever gaming/everything else PC and need some pointers. I plan on Gaming>Movie Watching>Browsing>Music> and a little photo editing (nothing big)

CPU-Intel Core i7-4770K
Motherboard-Gigabyte Z87X-UD5H
Memory-8GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600MHz Low Profile
GPU- Sapphire Dual-X Radeon R9 280X 3GB or MSI GTX 760 OC 2GB
Case- Corsair Obsidian Series 650D
Boot Drive- Samsung 840 EVO 250GB
Storage Drive- Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200RPM
Optical Drive- OEM DVD Drive
PSU- Corsair TX-650M
CPU Cooler-Corsair H110
OS-Windows 7 64-bit

I am not a die hard gamer but do have random spurts where I really play quite a lot. My goal is to future proof this thing so I don't have to replace anything for 4-5 years, AS well as make it as quiet as possible. Any tips or suggestions on the build? Thanks!

I plan on using dual monitors at some point in the future as well.

-David

Also I want to add if you are not doing anything relying on photo editing and don't need the speed for it you can get the 4670K. Another thing to add is if you like the 650D case over the R4 newegg has the Corsair 750D for $20 cheaper than the 650D
