Solution
If this is a working system it looks fine, just one point: Get a second HDD and run them as a mirrored array, loosing a HDD isn't common, but then again loosing a portfolio that's taken years to build up isn't much fun either.
Do you do 3D Modeling, extremely heavy CAD, or have other needs that would require a workstation GPU? If not, you probably don't want a Firepro, as that's AMD's workstation card and isn't designed for gaming.

The 4770k and z97 board isn't really necessary unless you plan on overclocking.

The RAM information you provided says next to nothing as to whether it's going to be good or not, so I'll go out on a limb and probably say you should really go with a dual-channel solution and do the 2x4 GB model instead of a single 8 GB DIMM.

The PSU manufacturer is on tier four of the forum's tier list, which means you may not even get 800w out of it, among other concerns.
 


Im planning to buy 4x 8 gb of RAM. Is it better?

Ive been doing 3D modelling, Autocad, Revit, etc...
