Hi, I've never built a compter so this is my first time.
first of all sorry for any possible mistake as english is not my native language.
Here we go, I have a few questions about my possible build:

    ■ Is this a good setup for gaming?
    -Gigabyte GA-Z97-D3H (motherboard)
    -Intel Core i7 4790 3.6ghz (CPU)
    -Gigabyte GTX 950 Windforce (GPU)
    -Crucial BX100 250GB (SSD, already own this)
    -A 7200rpm 1TB HD
    -Crucial Ballistix 2x4GB ddr3 1600 (RAM)
    -Corsair CX600M (PSU)
    -Cooler Master K380 (Case)
    -Corsair Air Series AF120 Quiet Edition (2x) (fans)
    please feel free to give any advice on the build but keep in mind this setup has already reached my budget limit (more or less €800). I'll buy the monitor from a friend. oh and I'll use it for music production too (so i cannot pick a less powerful CPU)
    ■ Is 600w enough? Is it too much? (Keep in mind I will add a couple HDs in the future and I will probably get into overclocking)
    ■ Since the case comes with a 120mm fan already built into the front panel, are 3 120mm fans total enough for this build? how should I place them? here is a pic with the possible solutions: http://www.coolermaster.com/case/mid-tower/k380/
    ■ Am I missing something? as I said it's my first build so i want to be sure I'm not missing anything

These are pretty much my doubts. Feel free to ask for further informations and thank you all for the help!

You need a 4790k if you want to overclock not the regular one, that is plenty of power supply, and if gaming is the intended build drop to an i5 and get a gtx 960 this will have much better gaming performance for the same (or less) price

Thank you for your reply! sadly i cannot drop to an i5 because I'll use this computer for music production too (so I need very powerful cpu, and fast HDD/SSD).
so are there other overclockable parts in my build? otherwise I will opt for a 500W psu instead of a 600W one.
any tips for the fans position?

Build looks solid then, it will game like very cheap build due to the crummy gpu. Nothing worth ocing too much a 500 Watt supply (seasonic, evga or other high end one) will be fine. The fans are certainly plenty to keep everything cool.

well the fact is I just can't afford a better psu/more wattage at the moment, do you think I really need at least 600w?
anyway, I use most sequencer like ableton live, logic, pro tools, reason. especially ableton live. and many plugin like kontakt, and many huge sample library. I don't have a mixer yet, but I will in the future. and a midi keyboard
