I am mid-way through designing my first gaming PC setup. I am going to be using this PC pretty much solidly for gaming but I would like advice on extra components I may need or changes that I may need.
These are the specifications so far:

What changes, if any, should I make or are there any improvements or extra things I need to add?

Go with a z97 chipset mobo. the Asus Maximus VII is a great mobo. Also, asrock has some good z97 mobo's for cheaper. Also, since this is mostly for gaming, go with 8 gigs of ram and drop the ssd so you can get the 780 ti for a little bit more than the pc costs now.
