Well, A SSD will shred any HDD around and that means booting at around 10 seconds and very minimal loading times for applications. Also loading objects in games is much faster.

Samsung EVO Series 250GB SSD

You have an SSD already but go for more space, as you may find 120GB isn't enough to store the things you need on their at a time (My 256GB SSD is more then half full and only has the apps I need). the one I listed has a read of 540MB/s and read of 520MB/s, much better then the corsair one.

Other suggestions:

-upgrade your ram to 16GB

-Change the 4670k to 4770k (if this PC hasn't been built yet)

-PC Case, if you wanted a full tower (if this PC hasn't been built yet)

If you wanted to I would look into changing the GTX 780 to a R9 290, They both perform relatively close but the R9 290 beats it. The R9 290 has a wider memory bus at 512-bit and 1GB more VRam at 4GB, it is also running at 320GB/s. But if ever deciding to go for one always go for the non-reference cooled models as the stock cooled models are extremely hot. So overall the R9 290 edges the 780 at gaming but probably isn't worth it if it is much more expensive.

-With everyday stuff like streaming, a 4770k would do slightly better but at gaming the 4670k will do almost exactly the same job.
