My First Gaming Build!

[Kingsta]

Hi,

I plan on building my first gaming pc but picking parts and the research involved is proving intensive lol!

My Build:
i5 4690K
Phantom 410 Case
MSI Z97 Gaming 5
MSI GTX 970
Samsung 840 EVO 120gb SSD
1 TB HDD
Corsair CMY16GX3M2A1866C9R Vengeance Pro Series 16GB DDR3 1866Mhz CL9 XMP
EVGA SuperNOVA 750W PC Power Supply - Gold

What do you guys think? Will everything work together? Do you see any room for improvement?

My budget is £1-1.2K

Thank you in advance.

everything seems peechy from here .. IMO a 120gb is not enough for my main storage mainly if you plan to install more than a few games .. if you could get atleast a 250 gb it would be better .. but if you cant its just as fine .. just my opinion

You are going to overclock, so what aftermarket CPU cooler are you going to use?

You don't need the 4690K. It will give you only a couple of FPS over the cheaper 4460.
You don't need 16Gb. 8Gb is enough and you could double that later if needed.
I would want at lease 256Gb SSD. Larger drives are generally faster due to parallel access.
The EVGA G2 or even B2 is better than the G1. http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-1804779/power-supply-unit-tier-list.html
Do you need WiFi/Bluetooth?
