Hi, I'm thinking about building a gaming pc and was wondering if this is a good build.  I would like to leave room for future upgrades (2 years maybe).

 

I can get all of these parts from my local PC store for about $705 after discounts and rebates.

Cut that SSD and go for the combo 1TB + 120GB 840 evo will save quite some money

 

BTW why not go for R9 280/ R9 270X?

It is a good build. If you can, I would recommend getting a 840 Evo rather than the 840 Pro. They will perform similarly, though the Pro is a bit faster. Then try to get a 270x.
