Hi folks!!

I would like to know what your takes are on this PC build!!

Downsides and upsides!

ASRock B85M-HDS
Cooler Master GM Series 650 Watt
Core i5-4670k 6MB
Corsair Carbide Series 200R
8GB of 1600MHz Corsair Vengeance RAM
Samsung 840 Evo 120GB SSD
Sapphire Radeon R9 270X Dual-X OC With Boost

What should be upgraded next? Are there any things I should consider changing/upgrading immediately? The thing is - this time the build is not for me, so I want it to be 110% perfect. ;-P (Yes, I know it is a micro-atx within a midi tower!! We had to save money somewhere - unfortunately the buyer is not too rich. ;-))

Thanks in advance!

You are using a B85 chipset motherboard which is for office use, not for enthusiasts. You need to have a Z87 motherboard to overclock the 4670k. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CU4L4XG/?tag=pcpapi-20

Other than your good to go.

How did you get for the 270X? If its near $250, instead I would've gotten a GTX 760 as is it faster than 270X. Just my opinion. All above are good and you're ready to build.

I would go with a better power supply.
