The SSD is rubbish, Kingston essentially did a bait and switch with the V300. I suggest the ADATA SP550 as a much better alternative.

 

Otherwise, the build looks fine.

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

Consider getting the 8gb version of the 480 and wait for the aftermarket ones if you have the patience. If not then i would go for 390 if you can get it cheap since theres some probles with refernce design 480 with the power draw on pci-e. So just to be safe from that wait for aftermarket ones or try getting 390 or 970(if you dont need that much vram)

Id heard about the power issues, do you know if the aftermarket ones will have more than just the the 6 pin connecter?

Not too sure actually, I haven't seen them used around here so I have no clue if they're good or not. The HyperX Fury is decent.
