All good parts but a couple of snags. First get 8x2 Ram as even ram kits of similar model sometimes refuse to boot. Second are you over clocking. If not then do not waste money with a k edition CPU and z97 motherboard. Get non k CPU and h87 motherboard and save some money. Otherwise brilliant build.

Edit: Why 2 SSDs. Are planning raid 0???

Awesome thank you! I will definitely make some adjustments and check back. The 2 SSDs was I typo I only have one picked out. Again thank you for the reply, I'm looking forward to the build! =)
