Not sure about a Corsir SSD, but the rest is great. EVGA is a great Mobo company.

Everything in this build seems well rounded and nothing that stands out really as in needs to be changed.

The Corsair SSD is pretty standard SSD nothing too special and will work well.

Switch the SSD for a 850 evo and drop the PSU down a bit, gtx 970 won't use that much power.

Sure you want to go mini?

@ChrisTheHunt I third that.   And see if you can work in at least a 250GB SSD.  In a few month's time you're going to hate a 120.   

 

120GB = 111GiB.  Factor in Windows.  Factor in your necessary and favorite programs/utilities, all the rest of the overhead that comes with using Windows, and the obligatory bit of free space that Windows will want for smooth operation.  Bleh.  You'll want a larger boot drive.

Tis fine

so you think the hyper cloud 2 making them into corsair branding will work?
