I've been wondering on building a custom gaming PC but since im new to this genre, maybe you can aid me whether this build I have in mind works and whether i'm able to upgrade in the future. Feel free to suggest any improvements to the build! I've also wanted to install a wireless PCI card that is reliable and hassle free as the router will be 2 floors below from where my PC is going to be.
Build:
Case - NZXT Phantom 410

Motherboard - MSI Z87-GD65-GAMING ATX Motherboard (Intel Z87, 4x DDR3, DVI, HDMI, 6x USB3.0, Killer E2205 LAN, LGA1150 Socket)

CPU - Intel Core i5 4670K

Liquid CPU Cooler - COOLER MASTER RL-S24M-24PK-R1 Seidon 240M CPU Liquid Cooler Kit

RAM - Kingston 1600MHz DDR3 Non ECC CL9 8GB Kit (2x 4GB) HyperX BLU XMP DIMM Memory Module

SSD - Kingston Technology 60GB Solid State Drive V300 2.5-inch SATA 3 with Adapter

HDD - Western Digital 1TB internal Hard Drive - Caviar Blue (3.5 inch)

GPU - Asus Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 Ti DirectCU II OC Graphics Card (2GB, GDDR5, PCI Express 3.0, HDMI, DVI-I, DVI-D, Display Port, Nvidia 3D Vision Surround Ready)

PSU - Corsair CX750 Builder Series CX 750W ATX/EPS 80 PLUS Bronze PSU

Thank you for your time!

Yes it looks good. Is the 60GB ssd for windows? You may want to look at getting a 120 or 128GB for that purpose. 60GB will work but it's pushing it close. You would need to disable hibernation and move the page file to your HDD to make windows fit comfortably. That frees up almost 16GB right there.

Thank you for your feedback! I'll make sure I change that. Do you have any wireless PCI card that is reliable that you would want to recommend?
