I would definitely get a bigger SSD, many games today use 40-50GB, at least get a 240GB. If you have any cash left over get 16GB of RAM.

Your build looks solid, it all comes down to your preference. I see no errors in your build. GL HF.

Purpose of my SSD is installing windows on it. Thats why i have SSHD.

Yes, when i get more money i will buy another 8gb balistix and will get 16gb.

Looks pretty solid and no mistakes that I can see
SSD shoukd be fine just try to keep it under 85 percent full for best performance as they tend to fill up with crap.
Good luck with the build and make sure you have adequate air flow
Edit: just saw the case sorry I missed that

Cheers

Airflow will be all the Corsair Obsidian 450D case fans and 1 more Green LED fan. Should be good.

I'm getting the same mobo, gpu and cpu tomorrow. I read that the bios should be updated to 1.3 to be compatible with the cpu. How do I do that?

Unless you are doing like 3d stuff you do not need that i7. Go with a i5 4690k, its a VERY powerful CPU and I think it will work great for you! To quote kawininjazx, 16gb of RAM is USELESS, unless you are doing rendering and video editing and things like that. No games today take over 8gb of RAM. As for the SSD use the money you saved from the CPU and RAM to get a really fast larger SSD.

Here are some parts that you may want to change out:

CPU: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/intel-cpu-bx80646i54690k

RAM: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gskill-memory-f317000cl9d8...

SSD: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/samsung-internal-hard-driv...

I hoped this helped you and good luck on your PC! :D :D

Thanks but i went with i7 already 2 days ago. Yes i will be waiting on my 970 now too.
Anyhow i will be doing video editing. but that doesnt mean i need 16gb ram. 8gb at the moment is a sweetspot. Also as for SSD. I dont really care cuz i will be mostly playing games from my SSHD and only Windows and maybe some other games on SSD. I thought about this well.
