Uhm hello guys I need help with a mid-range gaming rig i want to build . I would like some help regarding the parts that im planning to use and whether they are good. Im also open to any other build ideas so here are what i plan on using (ALSO the build is coming around 580euros, mainly because i already have stuff like The HDD, case and other peripherals)

SSD:Samsung 840 Series Evo 120GB
MoBo:MSI B85M-G43
RAM:G.Skill RipjawsX F3-14900CL9D-8GBXL
GPU:Sapphire Radeon R9 270X Boost 2GB Dual-X OC (I am also hoping that in the future i could Crossfire 2 of them , but now now)
CPU:Intel Core i5-4430
PSU:NOD ATX 550W (PSU-005) ( http://www.amazon.com/Logisys-Corp-Bearing-Supply-PS550E12BK/dp/B004MU8VCS/ref=sr_1_sc_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1399905856&sr=8-1-spell&keywords=NOD+ATX+550W )

Regarding the case i own A Cougar Archon as for The HDD i have a Western Digital 1TB WD10EALX so dont count those
So what do you say ? Will i be able to run games like BF4 and Bioshock and such at good frame rates?
Thanks in advance

Those components will work together, but...

The PSU is a very poor quality unit. Please spend more and get one that won't destroy your system over time. Look into a Corsair, Anyet, XFX, Seasonic... to name a few.

That motherboard will not support SLI or CF if that is what you plan for the future. Neither will a 550W PSU.

When you go to install Windows on the SSD, be sure to check out this tutorial. It will help you get the best performance from the SSD and keep it from writing itself to an early death: http://www.overclock.net/t/1156654/seans-windows-7-install-optimization-guide-for-ssds-hdds
