Unless you plan on losing the entire data after few years SSDs are fine. To store your data for longer period of time HDD is better. Second option you have is to get a 1TB SSD and save data which is important for you and want to last long like Pics and videos on a DVD or Blu-ray disk.

Overkill. Lol. Much of it looks good to me. May want to get a bigger PSU imo. Also the only other thing imo is consider waiting for coffee lake as that comes out pretty soon. Rumors that it will it won't work with the current boards floating around. For the money you are spending might as well wait. The fact is the 7700k is only a quad core. A hyperthreaded quad, and a good one, but only a hyperthreaded quad.

With coffee lake coming out, I would either wait for that, or build with a ryzen 7 8 core. I know that the 7700k is better than an r7 at gaming today, but I also think games going forward will begin to use more cores and more threads, so the r7 may become more relevant.

In a month Coffeelake will be out so get this setup. This is lot more powerful than above listed build. By that time add $100-150 more to your budget.
