What do ya think?

[MattLantis]

So this is my first build, and I just wanted opinions on it. I already have the SSD, motherboard, ram, PSU and soon to be processor, but if there are better deals out there, or better to suit me, I would gladly return them.

I'm mainly gonna use this for gaming, no content creation or anything like that.

Edit: Matt, you're a dumbass http://pcpartpicker.com/p/czthGX

Well.... We can't see anything related to your build.

[Speedbird]

Remove the 840 Pro, get EVO instead. Also get an MSI Z97 PC MATE.

[Oshino Shinobu]

I'd change the motherboard for what @Speedbird suggested, as well as changing the SSD. Also, go for a smaller PSU (600w is more than enough) unless you plan on SLI in the future. 

[Fate]

Get a 256GB Crucial MX100/840 evo, the pro isn't worth it.

[Guest]

Same price...

 

Better Motherboard, PSU, Case and bigger SSD.

I am planning on sli-ing, and the 750 was only $5 more on the sale, so i just went with it

In that case, stick with the PSU. The other two changes are not essential, but it's more about either saving some money or getting more/better performance for the same amount. The build is good though, just a few things that could be changed to be a little better.
