Thank you!

Looks pretty good. I think my only recommendation would be to make sure you have a regular disk drive, like a 1TB Seagate or Western Digital to go with that 120GB SSD. You'll fill up that space pretty quickly between those games (Especially Elder Scrolls). Otherwise your build looks great.
