First of all, good job for picking parts.

Just a few things:

What are you going to be using the computer for? I saw that you chose 16GB of RAM. If you will be mostly gaming, 8GB is already plenty so it would be beneficial take the money you save from getting the 8GB kit and put it into a better video card. However, if you will be doing video editing and other productivity, the 16GB could benefit you.

Also, I would recommend adding a 120GB SSD if possible. Installing the OS to the SSD makes the system quite a bit faster in every aspect. You could then install your programs to the 1TB you picked, which would be a great setup.

Just a few suggestions, but besides that, everything looks great!

Sounds good.

The bulk of your programs will go on the 1TB. You probably won't need 180GB as the SSD will primarily be for the OS which is like 15-20GB but SSD's do run faster as they get bigger. 120GB seems to be a good middle ground for price and performance.

Check out this SSD:

I think they recently cut the price on the Samsung which will save you some cash too.
