Bump the 4670K to a 4690K. Swap the 780 for a 970 and you should be set.

 

Also, for 1080p, a 24" monitor would be better compared to a 27", however if it's your preference, then go for it.

you wont want your games on a external usb drive its gonna make loading times very slow

get the 970 and the 4690k because better thermals

Thank you guys so much for the replies!

@HeatCliff & Trophywolfe;

Why 970 instead of 780? I've read some performance tests and the 780 looks like it tops the 970 by quite a bit in performance.

 

@Trophywolfe

My games will be on the SSD but I'll use the external storage for movies/photos/music etc..

The DDR 550 was a typo (550 is the price in norwegian krona)

 

@HeatCliff

Yeah, i actually changed my mind on the screen and will be going for BenQ XL2420Z 

 

@terdel ninja

I'll be gaming (WoW, LoL, CS and new releases (that's why i'm looking for good performance)

4GB of VRAM. It'll be better for higher res gaming or more texture packs/mods.
