My first gaming build. Looking for any suggestions or advice

[Garthx3]

I'm looking to build my first computer for gaming.

Cpu: Intel Haswell Core i5-4590 3.3GHz Processor
Motherboard: Asus MAXIMUS VII Ranger Intel Z97 ATX Motherboard
Gpu: EVGA GTX 980 4GB Superclocked Graphics Card
Memory: 2x4GB G.SKILL Ripjaws 1600MHz DDR3 Ram
Storage: 1TB WD Caviar Blue 3.5" SATAIII 7200RPM Hard Drive
and 64GB Adata XPG SX900 2.5" SATA3 Solid State Drive
Power: 550W Corsair VS550 Series Power Supply
Case: Raidmax Viper GX Gaming Mid Tower Case (Black)

I'm in New Zealand so part might be a bit harder to find. I am wanting to run three monitor but not straight way ,just when I get around to it.

Mainly just looking for advise whether these are the right parts to buy or I should be looking at something else.

Thank you in advanced

OP, what is your budget exactly? I'd change the power supply to a 620W Seasonic or 650W XFX power supply.

Looks fine.

That PSU is not adequate for the 980. Switch your motherboard to a VII Hero.. Dont get the Ranger. And do not get A-Data SSDs. For SSDs, invest in a Samsung EVO 840, Intel 520, or Crucial M500

That PSU is right at the bottom end of Corsair's range, it's still a good PSU but I would be looking at one with a little more quality and wattage if I had plans to run a triple monitor setup as I'd be thinking about SLI. That's my only input here, it's a really nice build though even if you did just stick with that.

520W is not a good idea for a 980

Thanks for all the help guys would a Seasonic G-650 650W be a better PSU and I have decided to go with the Samsung EVO 840 and the VII Hero
