Your build looks good, but I would somehow fit at least a 250Gb SSD into the system. 

 

Also, what currency are you using? USD?

Go wth a 1tb Wd blue and 128/256gb 840 evo/mx100.

If you don't need all that capacity, I would also consider just a straight 512gb 840 evo/mx100 and no hdd.

I'd also get a cheaper motherboard. There will be virtually no benefit from a 200+ board.

Did you already buy the ram or did you just not list it?

What motherboard do you recommend?

it really doesn't matter. They're pretty much all the same (assuming you're looking at the same chipsets and reputable manufacturers-Msi,gigabyte, asus, asrock.

I personally like Msi z97 gaming 5.

SSD?

 

buy a Z97 gryphon, i think they are nice

 

 

Go wth a 1tb Wd blue and 128/256gb 840 evo/mx100.

If you don't need all that capacity, I would also consider just a straight 512gb 840 evo/mx100 and no hdd.
