Hey there guys, I was wondering if you could take a minute or two and help me out, it would be greatly appreciated. I am building my first ever PC for general work/studying but mostly gaming and my knowledge about computers is err.... lacking. This is the build that i did a bit of research on and seems to fit my needs + budget http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/parts/partlist/ however I am worried that my lack of knowledge and expertise could mean I make some costly mistakes. So could you guys take a quick look and give me the green light go ahead or tell me what stupid thing I have probably done wrong. Thank you so much

P.S a few things I should mention:
1) I have no need for wireless network adapter, monitor or optical drive
2) Thinking of using ssd for boot up only (good idea?)
3) Do you think this PC will be as "future proof" as possible?

@TheMohammadmo the OP did NOT duplicate your build! That's an illusion because the link is not build-specific. It relies on cookies. At the moment, when I visit http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/parts/partlist/ I see nothing selected.

@pt779 that build looks fine, using ssd for boot is quite common, but it's hard to say how "future proof" that is.
