I'm with Onefurrybanana, you definitely need more storage for gaming. Some games today take anywhere from 30-50GB to install. In my rig I have the same 250gb SD you have in your list along with a 3TB drive dedicated to my Steam install folder.

But other than that good sir you're golden :D

I already have about 9 spare 1TB and 2TB HDDs so I should be fine.

250gb SSD is fine and in line with build budget, 1tb SSDs are not exactly cheap. 250 is fine for OS and maybe 4 games depending on size.

OP - certainly look at maybe a decent quality 550W PSU to give some headroom if you ever upgrade the GPU or add more stuff.

if you have more budget, maybe look at a K series with a Z board to give you OC ability in the future....something I wish I had done!"

Other than that, good build.
