Hey guys, this is my planned computer, that I´m aiming to build as a primarily gaming rig, but that also will be used to do Uni work and possibly programming since I am majoring in Computer Engineering (Not sure thats the english name). 

Check it out and tell me if there is any kind of bottleneck and/or recommendations for other components.

 

Here it is:

Yup, that's totally fine. I personally wouldn't go for a 2+TB drive since the failure rates are usually higher on those, but that's just a very minor thing and many would probably disagree with me. Also, you could go for a way cheaper mobo if you don't overclock.

Are you planning on overclocking? If so than you should get a 4770K but if not than you'd be fine with a H87/H97 board. Everything else looks really decent though.

Im currently not planning on overclocking. Can i get an example of a better motherboard more appropriate for the situation, since I don't plan on overclocking.
