I am building a computer for my family and I would like it to be a good performance computer that could handle some gaming. This is my second computer build. I am just trying to make sure that everything works well together. I look forward to hearing any suggestions and feedback.

Here is the list of parts:
CPU: Intel i5 3470 Ivy Bridge 3.2 GHz LGA 1155
Mobo: Asus P8Z77 LK LGA 1155
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series (2x4 GB)
Hard Drive: WD Black Series 1TB 7200 RPM
SSD: Samsung 840 EVO 2.5” 120GB
GPU: ASUS GeForce GTX 750 Ti
Power Supply: Cooler Master GXII 550W
Case: Corsair Carbide Series 300R Mid Tower case

Thank you everyone

-You have a locked processor with an overclocking motherboard. Since it's a basic computer, you might want to just go for a H or a B chipset motherboard.
-I wouldn't really recommend Ivy Bridge anymore as it's a previous gen chip. You're better off with the new Haswell Refresh chips.
-No need for the Black HDD when you already have a SSD for your OS/some programs. You'll be fine with a WD Blue.
-Cooler Master psus are not that great. You're better off with the XFX 550w which is a higher quality unit.
