So my current rig is AMD and I want to convert over to the intel side of gaming. I put together this list of parts, take a note that I will continue to use my current GPU(GTX 750 ti) and my current ram(8 gigs.) I want to know if I can just transfer my windows 7 off my current hard drive to the SSD then wipe the hard drive and use it. I will be saving up for a GTX 980 ti in a couple months.

You should get another power supply, maybe the new EVGA SuperNOVA 650 G2, or pick one from tier 1 or 2 from this list: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html#xtor=EPR-8886

Also, I think your GPU will cause a bottleneck, so you should probably get something like the GTX 970.

If you don't understand what static pressure fans and airflow fans mean, then watch this video:

Otherwise I think it looks fine, other than what beshonk said about the motherboard.

I agree about the z97 board no point getting the 4790k if you arnt going to use the overclocking so drop down to the 4790 non k version or up to a z97 board. As long as you have the CD key you can reuse the windows.

Well if my GPU is bottle-necking will it cause harm to my pc? Because I want to get a 980ti but I don't have the cash for it now, thats why I am just going to use the 750 ti for now.

I don't think he realise you were getting a better gpu later and it wont cause any damage it's just that you aren't getting the full performance out of your system as you could with a better gpu. The psu that he said though I agree with.
