I would be wary of that SSD. Also, you might want to add about a 100 watts to the PSU. 550 seems to be cutting it close imo.

Added 200 watts by accident... oops

XxD34THxX (or if that's OPs build), Why do you have a 100+ Euro Cooler Master keyboard when you're only spending 75 on a power supply? I'd get a Seasonic, Corsair, or Evga PSU, modular, and maybe even platinum rating if electricity is expensive where you live.

Hynix are one of the top flash memory producers in the World (most brands use other companies, including Hynix, for their controllers) and it's just as reliable as a Kingston imo. Not that far off an 850 evo according to this http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/sk-hynix-sl308-ssd-review,review-33612.html

Also, the original G2 PSU was better than the 750w Antec. 550w is plenty, and the quality of components is more important. A G2 550w is a tier one high quality PSU. Platinum is overkill as you are talking about a few cents difference a year. Component quality and clean supply is far more important.

I'd also get a 1060 6GB over a 480 if you can stretch that far, as by the time DX12 is relevant enough neither card will be much use anyway, and the 1060 seems to do better in most benchmarks I see.

Agree about upping the PSU. 2TB or 3TB hard drive would be better.

I would stick with the RX 480.
