I all ready have a mouse, keyboard, DVD-ROM and some monitors and a copy of windows.

This will be for gaming and possibly some 3D animation (Blender).

 

Just would like any advise before actually clicking the purchase button for this big order.

Why the 2400mhz ram? You can just use 1600 or 1833, not much of a performance difference but large price difference (also note the compatibility issue with the ram you chose) Also do you need the 730? There are some cheaper options like a Crucial MX100 that perform pretty well, but don't have the safety nets the Intel does for storage (but I don't see anywhere that you needed that). Also why two HDDs, you could pick up a 3TB for the same price.

2400mhz because its only $15-$5 increase. the 730 because its currently 56% off so its the same price. 2 HDD's for raid.

A much better build for alot less... If you are gaming on 1080p.

840 evo has unbeaten reliability (i personally have it)... But i heard that intel SSDs have certain issues but im not sure.

I don't like your build. Go for i7-5820K build + custom sleeved cables + case fans (corsair's?).

I would go with the Crucial MX100 SSD. It is a very good SSD and is cheaper than the Intel.

Also the EVGA Supernova G2 is better than the Antec. The Antec is good, but like all Antec stuff it is pricey. The EVGA is $84.98 after rebate.
