Like the title says its been a while since I've done this (damn you college). So I've been reading a lot through here and around from different sites. I was hoping to get some input on the build I have setup so far. I know the wattage might be a bit to much but I do plan on adding another HD and maybe a disk drive (CD/DVD/Blu Ray)

Case: Cooler Master HAF 932 Advanced Blue Edition

PSU: Corsair HX 850 Gold Plus 80

CPU: Intel Core-i5 4670K LGA 1150

MB: ASUS MAXIMUS VI HERO DDR3 2800 LGA 1150

Memory: Kingston HyperX Beast 8 GB Kit (2x4 GB) 1600MHz DDR3 PC3-12800

GPU: ASUS GTX760-DC2OC-2​GD5 GeForce GTX760 2GB GDDR5 256-bit

HD: Samsung Electronics 840 EVO-Series 120GB 2.5-Inch SATA III

Thank you all for your advice!

Well my budget could expand but ideally I am trying to keep it around the $1,000 mark. Currently this build (after all the rebates & shipping) is sitting around $1200. I decided to go with the 120 GB SSD for the OS and the most important games & media. I've been using an ASUS G51VX for the past 5 years with a 250GB standard HD. If that tells you anything about my HD usage.

Yeah I actually have 1 500GB External HD that uses SATA I, then an even older 250GB External HD. All before my laptops *320GB HD. So Space isn't an issue. I would install Windows on the SSD and a couple Games then use the External for my other media. I would end up buying down the road a raptor drive as well.
