Windows 8.1
1TB HDD

Looks good to me. Good mid range gaming build. the only thing its missing is an SSD boot drive but you can always add that later if the budget currently doesn't allow it.

You are good.

FWIW.
I will never again build without a ssd for the "C" drive. It makes everything you do much quicker.
120gb is minimum, it will hold the os and a handful of games. If you can go 240gb, you may never need a hard drive.

I would defer on the hard drive unless you need to store large files such as video's.
It is easy to add a hard drive later.
Samsung EVO is a good choice.
Intel 730 is OK too.

My budget won´t let me get a SSD for now. Is it ok if I get one later?

ssd is good for video editing and cfd , in gaming its almost useless for a budget gaming
i had a simple hdd for 10 years now and i never had the need to add ssd , the simple time i used a ssd , i had too many problems with it ..i simply put in the garbage , i hope they built better now this days

Yes, its not going to affect your gaming performance it just makes the system much more responsive with much faster boot and load times(atleast for the apps installed on the SSD).

It is harder to migrate to a ssd later.
It is easy to add a hard drive later.
You can buy a 120gb ssd for about the same price as a 1tb hard drive.
That is sufficient for the os and a couple of games.

The value of a ssd is no the faster boot times. But in the overall quickness. Files open instantly.
Textures and such load quicker in games.
Game checkpoints and level loads are faster.

120gb does fill up quickly so really, 240gb is much better.
Find a way... you will not regret it.

Im currently using a 2GB Ram Asus Laptop and I´m using 116GB out of 232GB, and I barely have any games installed. So I think it´s best to go with 1TB HDD and no SSD...
