Final checks for a PC build

[NoctHorn]

I am planning on building a gaming PC soon (my first!) and would like some feedback on the parts before I go ahead and order.

If you suggest any changes, try to avoid changing the price.

 

Here are a few questions I have: How big of a difference does an SSD make?  Is there a better one for a similar price?

 

I feel a little uncomfortable about the motherboard based on reviews from newegg.  What do you think about it?

 

Is the graphics card I have selected a good quality one?  Is there a better one for the same price?

 

 

Any other observations about the system would be appreciated.  Note that I have already purchased the case.

SSDs make a huge diffrence, Samsung makes the best ones imo

This looks really good. The PSU is meh but with 20% off it's the best bang for your buck.

Why 4670K with a B85 motherboard? A non-OC 4670 is cheaper, even a 4440 would do IMO.

You would also need an aftermarket CPU cooler in order to OC your 4670K correctly.

 

The rest looks fine, I don't know much about that SSD though.

 

 

I feel a little uncomfortable about the motherboard based on reviews from newegg.  What do you think about it?

 

I never trust users reviews (unless they are very explicit), people will usually only do a review/rating if they've been really disappointed and are mad (usually because of a faulty product and not a general problem with the hardware), or for some reason they are very happy and will write a biaised review.

 

Instead, trust complete reviews that really go in depth.

Actually, the 4670K is cheaper right now at Microcenter.  I might overclock in the future but not right now.  Is there a better motherboard for future overclocking that is similarly priced?
