Solution
Your pc looks promising, but considering that you are going to use your system mainly for gaming, I'd recommend you to give up on your ssd, put 50 extra dollars and get a gtx 970 like this one for instance:

That entire PSU line is bad and should be avoided.
Sky's recommendation of a better and more expensive GPU isn't a bad idea either if you can afford it.
