(Although I can make assumptions) What's your budget? Also, what country do you live in, and what kinds of needs do you have for it (video editing, gaming,etc)?

@rustikles

Sorry my budget is £1000, live in the UK and editing is not as essential as gaming but a ok system to use 

 

Planning to play games such as minecraft, the new Far cry 4 and multiplier games etc... and record about 5mins each vids

Are you planning to sli/cf? 

Why the sound card?

The network card is unnecessary. The motherboard has built in ethernet.

I would advise against using Kingston ssd as they have known problems and their ssd's tend to be slower than some of the others on the market. I would suggest a samsung 840 evo, or if you are looking for something a little cheaper you could go for a sandisk.

Why not build it yourself?

The NAND was swapped out in the v300 without an announcement and it lost performance. Although shady, the ssd is still fine. 

Unless you're talking about the Sandisk Extreme II, the v300 is still better than the generic Sandisk ssd.
