Gaming PC Build Opinion

[starfox666]

I have decided to build my own gaming pc. I believe that I have decided on the parts. I am just wondering what your opinions on the build would be? any suggestions? Thank you for your input.

Here is the build http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2meMI

I made a few changes to get you some better components and a much better GPU. The CPU won't be much different, and you will end up with better gaming performance thanks to the more powerful GPU. I would go with a 120GB SSD and a storage drive, as that 240GB SSD will fill up fast. 120GB is plenty for your OS and apps, and then put your games and media on the 1TB drive.
