Building a New PC, Are My Components Good?

irongolem0123 · Jun 14, 2014

I am about to build my first gaming PC soon, and these are the specs I have chosen. Will they work well together? Any suggestions to improve it?

CPU - Intel Core i7-4790k
Motherboard - Asus Z97-Deluxe
GPU - Gigabyte GeForce GTX 780 Ti Windforce Edition
Casing - Corsair 600T White Graphite
RAM - Corsair Vengeance Pro 32GB 2400Mhz
PSU - Corsair X860i
SSD (Boot Drive) - Toshiba HG5d 60 GB mSATA
SSD (Storage Drive) - Samsung SSD 840 EVO 1TB SATA III
Optical Drive - Asus DRW-24B1ST
Monitor - Asus VG248QE
OS - Windows 8.1 Pro
CPU Cooler - Cooler Master Seidon 240M

I'm aiming to build it under $4000. Thanks in advance.

EDIT: I changed the cooler to the Seidon 240M. Would that work better than the Eisberg 240L?

Perhaps a bit more on the SSD, I feel like 60GB is too little but that's just me

the 60gb ssd will be plenty for the OS but a word of warning on the monitor.
you will need to tinker with the settings as the color is terrible out of the box.

cant remember what site i used as a guideline but is fantastic for gaming

everything else looks good but you should ask yourself if you will be wanting to go SLI on the GPU.
860 will be enough for a single 780 but may be a stretch if you want to add another later on
