Not only that but 248/240/250 GB is the sweet spot for price to performance for SSDs :)

Good but If you can get a 240GB SSD. They are much faster than 120GB models.

that sounds very wrong, I am pretty sure that the difference in Speed is not that high between 120Gb and 240Gb ^^

I'd drop the seagate and get a hitachi, better quality.

The ssd is... fine, but 240 would be best for price/storage

get the OS from g2a, then use that saved money for a larger ssd!

Get an EVGA b2 psu or Antec HCG/HGC series, far better quality.

Only one person has pointed out the PSU? Please do not get that PSU... you will regret it. I am replacing the exact same PSU right now because it's giving out on me and doesn't supply the power I need properly for my machine. It's enough wattage but it's just not a good PSU for this type of build. Also go with a 240GB SSD, Sandisk SSD Plus is a really good budget SSD. That Kingston one is not good at all. 

 

Hope everything ends up working out for you.

Thank you for being the only smart and reasonable person to noticed the shitty PSU. @OP would have been in danger if you hadn't said something probably.

A few others pointed it out too, or at least when they posted builds changed the psu to something more reliable. A ton of people here are really agro on cheap quality power supplies, as they should be.
