The build looks compatible. I would recommend a PSU that's quieter and with black cables:

And the V300 series of SSDs is terrible. Just dreadful. Change it to something much better (for the same price)

They are faster by quite a bit, especially when writing data such as installing games and software.

 

And they last longer. Every SSD dies as its memory cells wear out with use, and some have better endurance than others.

I think the 840 EVO can do almost a petabyte in endurance by reallocating sectors, but will have some errors after the 300TB mark. Still a lot tho, that's like 300GB per day for 1000 days.

Perhaps, but those are expensive these days

When the V300s were first released, they were amazing for the price and had excellent reviews. Some time later, Kingston changed the type of memory used in them, cutting the performance by a lot. They're still better than hard drives, but still very subpar in performance. There are other 120 GB SSDs you can get for around that price, like the HyperX Fury or an A-Data SP600.

I personally wouldn't worry TOO much about this as long as you get something that's good enough. While flash memory does have limited durability, a hard drive may actually wear out sooner than an SSD due to being mechanical.

SSD endurance isn't too important for consumer drives, but in the long run (5+ years) it will be appreciated. Of course, one can minimize writes to a consumer SSD by moving the Temp folders and browser cache to a drive that doesn't wear out, like a RAMDisk.
