Looks solid. Similar to my build.

looks good but if doing productivity id go for a 6 core cpu

Don't get the RM series of PSU's from Corsair, get something from EVGA or Seasonic.

I'd change the motherboard to a less expensive option since a better motherboard has no impact on performance.

You may also want to consider a smaller capacity SSD so you can spend more on the graphics card or other components of your PC.

good , but i'd go for a Cooler MasterV650/XFX XTR 650W instead of a RM

Why do everyone not like the rm series? johny guru gave it a nine out of 10.

will be a nice build if you go this way
