I wouldn't have an SSD. I'd use a HDD or SSHD - you need more than 120GB.

The CPU is weak and GPU strong - not a good match

Put in prices. Give budget without KB and mouse.

eg

CPU: AMD FX-8320 3.5GHz 8-Core Processor ($136.99 @ NCIX US)
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler ($28.52 @ OutletPC)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-970A-D3P ATX AM3+/AM3 Motherboard ($69.99 @ Newegg)
Memory: G.Skill Ares Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1866 Memory ($81.99 @ Newegg)
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($53.98 @ OutletPC)
Video Card: MSI Radeon R9 270X 2GB TWIN FROZR Video Card ($179.99 @ Micro Center)
Case: Corsair 300R ATX Mid Tower Case ($47.99 @ Micro Center)

That is a very nice build but get rid of the razer stuff and buy cheap keyboard and mouse and get i5 4690k cpu instead or GTX970 following with i5 4690k as soon as you get the money because pentium might bottleneck your gpu, i know it's awesome little cpu that you can overclock extremely but still it is pentium
