First Computer Build, does everything look okay?

[Lany]

So this is my first computer build. Been doing a bunch of research and so far, everything has been coming together nicely. I'm posting this here because i want your feedback and your opinion on what I have assembled here.

Here are my specs:

processor: Intel Core i7-4770K

motherboard: ASUS Z97-PRO LGA 1150 Intel Z97 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

RAM: CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 (PC3 15000) Desktop Memory Model CMZ8GX3M2A1866C9B

SSD: SAMSUNG 840 Pro Series MZ-7PD256BW 2.5" 256GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

HDD: Western Digital WD VelociRaptor WD5000HHTZ 500GB 10000 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive - OEM

Graphics Card: ASUS GTX770-DC2OC-2GD5 GeForce GTX 770 2GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

PSU: CORSAIR HX Series HX750 750W ATX12V 2.3 / EPS12V 2.91 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply New 4th Gen CPU Certified Haswell Ready

DVD Burner: ASUS 24X DVD Burner - Bulk 24X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 12X DVD+R DL 24X DVD-R 6X DVD-RW 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-R 32X CD-RW 48X CD-ROM Black SATA Model DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS - OEM

Case: Corsair Obsidian Series 650D (CC650DW-1) Black Aluminum / Steel ATX Mid Tower Case



One of my concerns was temperature. The case comes with one 120mm fan and two 200mm fans, but I'm not sure if this is enough. I have a pretty big budget as well so don't worry about the price of any components you suggest. Since this is my first build and I'm relatively new to this whole process, you may have to dumb down your suggestions so i can understand what you mean . Thank you for your time and i hope to hear back from some of you more experienced people.

Case airflow is fine.

My suggestions
- Drop the Raptor and get a plain 7200RPM drive. You already have an SSD for a fast machine, you dont need a fast HDD but you will need more than 500GB of storage. My suggestion is a Seagate Barracuda.
- With 4770k, you want to overclock yet I dont see any aftermarket cooling. Get a Hyper 212 EVO at least, which will cover you up to ~4.2Ghz. If this is purely a gaming rig, the i7 is pointless as well, get an i5. If your going to be video editing or something, get 16GB of RAM.

I do agree on the drive. I've changed my mind and decided to go with a 7,200RPM 1TB drive from WD. I'll also look into a cooling system whenever i choose to start overclocking. But with the CPU, like i said i have a large budget and I'd rather go with the i7 that will last me for several years instead of having to replace it soon when games begin to demand more and more. Thanks for the input.
