Build Advice Pls

[TimberWolffe]

So this is my first time designing a build that isn't something giga omega powerful, just something that can run my games and programs on high settings without having to worry about lag. So yeah that's my story, here's the link to my parts list

 

http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=wish_lists&wlcId=442820&action=wish_lists

 

Let me know what you think! Super ready to build this if it's going to work, and if it's not I'd love to know what I can do to fix it without blowing 3 grand if possible!

 

EDIT: I was told PCPartPicker is better for you to help so

This is much better imo: http://au.pcpartpicker.com/p/TGbKQ7

I'm well aware that there's better systems, and I'll definitely consider them however I would like to keep the case because I mean look at the thing, it's beautiful. Cheers for the input tho. Popular opinion seems to be leading to an i7 and 16GB RAM. I chose the SSDs and HDD that I did because I saw Linus personally recommending them in other build guides and figured if he likes them then they must be good. Apart from that I'm fairly flexible

They aren't bad SSD's but there is no sense in getting 2 small drives for the money the Samsung drives are excellent drives for the everyday user. Same goes for the HDD the quality is there and a better price.
