Do you really need two hard drives? 

What is your budget?

What are you going to use this system for? If for gaming your processor and RAM are overkill.

I would lose the seagate and get instead a hitachi or hgst drive. Better reliability, and less conspiracy surrounding it.

 

Why are you getting 32gbs of ram? 16 is more than enough for gaming, streaming, and even mild video editing or production work, 32 is just overkill unless you're doing almost constant video editing.

 

Know that the 850 evo will slow considerably more so over time than other ssd's, I'd advise something different, but it's not vital.

 

Unless you're editing video most of the time you're on your computer once again, a 5820K is way way way overkill, even a 4790K is overkill. If you wanted to record, stream, game, and do mild professional creation work, then something like a 4690K or Xeon 1231v3 is more than enough.

 

But, we need to know something first,

  • Price
  • Location
  • Uses for the machine

Basically I have a once in a life time offer right now. So pretty much buying the best computer I can, for under or around 2000-3000. 

 

Please don't ask me why I need it for, as it is pretty personal. I'm just basically trying to build a computer so I wouldn't have to upgrade for a while. So basically I do want a overkill, because in a few maybe months or years its not going to be much of an overkill.

 

I just don't know much about Motherboards, or Hard Drives.

 

And by the way the title is "What can I change". Not "Is This is overkill?"
