I need some advice on what parts to get for this build, it is going to be for gaming. Budget for the PC is $1,100 USD excluding the case which is Phanteks Enthoo Pro. I have peripherals for this build, which can be found here along with what I have so far http://pcpartpicker.com/p/wmFt99 If you have something better for the peripherals, please post that as well.

Yeah I don't think 240 gb is going to be enough for gaming imo.

you only put os and most played games on it
