Hi, I was just wondering before i start buying the components if someone could just give it a quick look over, It's mainly going to be used for light game dev, programming and gaming =P,
going to be using a 1080p monitor
looking for around 50-60fps on recent games (not too bothered about ultra settings tbh)

Advice/Help is greatly appreciated :)

That CPU is good for your Dev & Coding.
But with that GPU you can't get even 30fps at 1080p on recent Modern Games [GTA V, Assassin Creed, Shadow of Morder, Witcher 3]
Add 40 Bucks more & get this Build if possible
GTX 950 is 40% more powerful than GTX 750Ti. You can get 60fps at Medium/High settings at 1080p on recent games.

This BitFenix Neos Case is better than that expensive Cooler Master K280

I was told by someone that the performance of SSD's varies very insignificantly because I was going to go witht he samsung evo originally, and the SSD itself is just an ease of life thing, something im not as bothered about.

Thanks a load though!
