Imo, get a 120GB SSD such as the MX100 and then toss a WD Caviar Blue in it rather than a Seagate drive.

agree with mister up to. Get 120gb ssd+normal hdd. And dont buy seagate maybe its just my bad luck, but i had 3 seagate hdds fail on me in 2 years. And they sound like they made in 1990 too

Ok i will replace the 2TB SSHD with 1TB Caviar Blue and Samsung 840 evo 120gb
Thanks guys ..
Any other ideas?

I would go for a smaller but higher quality PSU such as the SuperFlower HX 550. It would probably hurt the budget too much to say go modular with pretty all black cables but the EVGA SuperNova G1 650 would be my suggestion in that regard.

Like the others have said a separate SSD and HDD will be more reliable and offer more performance if you are good at managing your data appropriately. Personally I wouldn't buy 120GB, a 240/256GB will allow you to put all of your programs, your OS and a healthy inventory of games on it without obsessing over which things you need to be fast. If you can spare the extra expense then I would recommend looking at a bigger SSD anyway, larger capacities are generally cheaper perGB and higher performance too so triple winning.

If I was going to cut back on any part it would be the CPU. There is nothing at all wrong with the 4670k but really if you never intend to overclock it's slightly wasted, an i5-4460 would be better value from a pure gaming angle. If you do intend to overclock one day then I would recommend you go for a i5-4690k, although it's only a subtle refinement it is noticeable particularly when you only have limited cooling available. I should also say there is no huge real world advantage to overclocking outside of benchmarks, it's just kinda fun to see what you can do, some do, some don't.

The case is really personal preference so i'm sure you can decide on that one, i've seen a lot of 230T's around and they look nice although a little more expensive.

The memory will work fine but it will stand out aesthetically, with such a nice GPU and a windowed case etc maybe splashing out on Vengeance LP of the same size and spec would be justified?

You can easily find a crucial mx100 256GB ssd for very cheap. Its worth the slightly larger expense considering its double the storage, faster, and longer lasting.

First of all there is no reason to buy a 4670k unless you find it on sale at much cheaper than the 4690k. I would also recommend getting a 120gb crucial mx100 with a 1tb hard drive rather than the SSHD. You should also go for a lower wattage cx power supply instead of the 650w vs. Something like a cx500m would be perfect.
