looks pretty good. I would say get a smaller SSD for the OS and important apps, and use a 7200 rpm 1Terabyte HDD with the 60$ you save. getting a 240GB SSD is nice, but its like putting all your eggs in one basket. If you get a smaller one and it fails, its easier to replace and still have your other HDD with all important apps and documents

That's a good build. But this build would destroy it in terms of gaming performance.
