Hi so this is going to be a mainly gaming /photo processing machine. I am not a huge huge gamer. These are the games i will be playing: StarCrat2 , iRacing, Fallout, BF4 . .not sure 
I already have 2 slow external HDs that i would like to bring into the case, a 1080p 24" screen and a windows 8 license.
This is the build:

Some of the items have rebates so the price might be lower (if i remember to send those out)
A few highlights, i picked the GTX 760 instead of 770 but with SLI mobo and 750W I think in the future I will be getting a 2560x1400 monitor and either will buy an additional 760 or swap it out for a 780. I am ok with not running ULTRA graphics settings..
I will probably move old photos onto the 2TB harddrives and only keep a few gigs of the latest on the SSD so i think 250GB would be more than enough.
What do you guys think? Thanks!! I want to pull the trigger today
