New Gaming Machine

[phods1]

Hi guys,

I'm just in the process of building my first pc with the following specs:

CPU: Intel Core i7-4770K / Akasa Voodoo Venom CPU Cooler
GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 760 OC Gaming Edition 4096MB
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 8GB DDR3-1600 (2x4GB)
MOTHERBOARD: Asus Z87 Pro
STORAGE: 2xSeagate Barracuda 7200RPM 1TB HDD / Samsung 840 EVO 250GB SSD
PSU: Akasa VenomPower 750w
ODD: OcUK 24x DVD±RW SATA ReWriter
CASE: Antec 300 (5 case fans 4x120 Corsair SP120 1450RPM, 1x140 Akasa Viper HP S-FLOW)

Just wondering if anyone had any suggestions to further progress the build?

In the future I was thinking to upgrade the RAM to 16GB and possibly upgrade my GPU and also have been told about a fan controller, although not sure what I would gain from that as can control my fans through my BIOS?

Looks good to me. If you havent bought the parts, I'd go with a i5 if you are just gaming. If editing videos etc, you will see an improvement in the i7.

I'd also look into getting a SSD.
