This is my first build, my laptop is getting some lag on Bf4 and i need an upgrade. My target price would be around $1200. I am very OCD so thats why everything is Corsair/Asus haha. Well i know you guys know more than me, so any tips are helpful. tHANKS!

Why do you pick a z97 motherboard with the non-K i5 4430? Do you plan on upgrading to broadwell i7?
Why the 650 watt psu? 550 watt will be plenty for this build, assuming you are not going to SLI.
Why the expensive ram? Makes no sense, cheap ram without heatsink will be just as good.
Why not go for the 840 EVO 250GB, which is slightly more expensive than the 120GB SSD you have now?
