This is my first time building my own pc from scratch (with a little help choosing pieces) and i want to make sure everything is in working order and I'm not going to put it together properly and wonder why it doesn't work. Also i would like suggestions you might have for each part, ones that you think would perform better(without going too far over the original checkout price), or the same at a lower price(but of course the suggestions must be compatible) Thanks!

This system is more future proof. It uses LGA 1150 chipset and the latest Intel Haswell CPU. A GTX 770 and a strong PSU is there in case you may want to equip another GTX 770 for SLI, in the future. There is the better SSD and a better case. You may want to include a CPU cooler if you want to overclock later
