Before buying advice

[rozenman]

Hey guys,
I have built this system and I am about to buy it (all new - except for the graphic card which I already have).
What do you say? Is it good? Any advice/comments?
Do you know of parts with the same quality and performance, which cost less?

CPU ok
Cooler is probably unnecessary. Stock cooler should do since you are not overclocking.
Since you did not choose a K CPU for overclocking, you could use a H97 motherboard which is a little cheaper and in not intended for overclocking.
If you are only gaming, you really only need 8GB of memory, you could spend a little more for low latency memory.
The SSD is good
The HDD is smaller than most would choose and you can get twice the size for essentially no money.
The video card you already have, so it's free. It can be replaced when and if necessary.
Case is your choice, but a place you could save some money.
Power supply is good Tier 2 and big enough for a later, better, GPU

Given that you plan to use the GPU you have, you could save some money toward a future GPU upgrade, or just buy a cheaper system.
