Looks good.

Down the road when games become too heavy for the integrated graphics
you can throw in a dedicated GPU and still max out many games.

Even my a6 6400k is still doing a decent job in games paired with my GTX 660 which i bought almost a year ago.

It looks good to me, too. I'd still suggest the 256GB version.  It's $110, also from Amazon.   You'll appreciate it more in the long run after installing other non-game programs and just general maturing of the computer... and you.   Isn't Windows about 20GB now?  120GB (decimal) will be about 109GB-ish (binary) after formatting.  And you'll want to have about 10GB free at all time for the pagefile and whatnot.

Perfectly true, need's to be had before it changes. But then we expect people to buy these as soon as they've decided on a spec.
