.Guys, I am wondering if I would experience bottle-necking or some sort of imbalance from the prodigy build that I am planning to set up. Here are the parts:

CPU: i3-4130 3.4 GHz Haswell
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-z87-wifi
GPU: MSI 750ti TF
RAM: Crucial Ballistix dual 8gb 1600
SSD: Crucial m500 128gb
HD: Seagate 500gb 7200rpm
PSU: Aerocool Templarius Imperator 650watts 80Plus Bronze White
Monitors: 3x18" 720p monitors

I will be using this build for work and gaming. I only plan to use one display when gaming, but all 3 must be working whenever I'm programming and editing photos.

Thank you in advance for the comments and responses. :)

For budget builds, skip the SSD. You also don't need a Z87 board, since the i3's are locked. Get a better PSU as well, Aerocool isn't a good brand. This way you could do something like this:

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-B85N-WIFI Mini ITX LGA1150 Motherboard ($99.99 @ Amazon)
Video Card: Asus GeForce GTX 660 Ti 2GB Video Card ($214.99 @ Micro Center)
Power Supply: XFX 550W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply ($49.99 @ NCIX US)
Total: $364.97
(Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available.)

Assuming you're doing ITX, as there is no Gigabyte GA-Z87-Wifi lol
