Is this a good build?

Hi guys. I wanted to get your opinions on my build (for gaming).

Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4790K CPU @ 4.00GHz (8 CPUs), ~4.0GHz (yes, it was necessary for certain games)
16 GB RAM
AMD Radeon R9 270x 4 GB VRAM
Motherboard: ASUS Z97 USB 3.1 Deluxe
EVGA 650 Watt Gold+ PSU
2 TB HDD
128 GB SDD Boot Drive
WIndows 8.1
Random ASUS 24 inch Moniter, works really well.
Peripherals:
Turtle Beach PX21 Headset
Razer Naga 2014
S.T.R.I.K.E. 5 Gaming Keyboard
Mouse pad: A piece of printer paper (seriously, it works better then my other one)

first off what is your budget ??
2nd graphics card is way too weak for a gaming rig with 4790k

You are buying a low-end graphics card. You want the graphics card to be one of the most expensive purchases for a gaming rig. You could drop the RAM to 8GB and get the I5-4690K and put the additional money into a better graphics card. Heck, you can buy an I5-4460 and still get a great gaming experience, any I5 will do.

After putting in the money for the rig itself, the only graphics card that would work for now was that one. I will probably upgrade it later, but It's working fine for me.

Also, I have already built it, I just wanted to see your opinions 😀

That doesn't makes any sense because you can reduce the cost of the other components and buy a better card. Unless you already own the card?
