I've got all my parts in and wanted to know if I have the right stuff for a solid gaming build? I have a I5 devils canyon cpu 32gb 2133mhz kingston hyperx beast ram, an Asus z97-a motherboard, an Samsung 850 250 gb ssd for os and 2 1tb 7200 rpm WD hdd for storage, an Xion 1000 watt psu, a new Thermaltake water 3.0 360mm liquid cooler for cpu, 2 EVGA GTX 660 ti ftw edition graphics cards in sli, and it's all placed in a Thermaltake Core V71 Extreme full tower with 4 200 mm fans and 2 140 mm fans and the 3 120 mm fans on the radiator for push pull set up with the top exhaust 200 mm fans being the pull side of radiator. Peripherals are Razer Tipan mouse and Razer Anansi keyboard and a 24 inch AOC led monitor. So I guess I'm just looking for opinions or advice. Constructive criticism very welcome.

If that is so, the 660Ti SLI will suffice for now :) But remember, the GTX980 is not a power hog, so 1000W is a bit overkill, even in SLI.

Enjoy the building process, your build is fine as it is! :)
Kinda ran out of money doing the upgrades. I had a asus m5a99fx pro r2.0, amd phenom 956 and 16gb of the kingston but the cpu finally gave out and thought it was time to go intel seeing as everything I have been reading said amd is at it's limits and the amd upgrades are likely to melt the socket trying to get good performance from them. I am looking at EVGA GTX 980's in the future.

I appreciate the answer and quick response. I was hoping that I was on the right track. It's my computer but I let my son use it for the most part. I just like building them and tweaking them when I get some money set aside for it. I wanted it ready for a heavy graphics card upgrade probably will be at least 6 months so prices will drop into the reasonable range.
