It's a pretty good rig, but as you can see from my signature, i just have a 250 gb ssd. I think if you really need the space you should just get a 500gb samsung 850 evo ssd

 

or if you dont remove the ssd or hdd

Looks good, though the Asus boards let you turbo lock the chip; much better. I don't know if the MSI boards allow for something similar.

Where on earth is that build going to be 735? Or are you moving some old parts into your new build?

Worth around $200 but costs around $350.

 

OP,
Build looks pretty decent, I'd probably get a case for it though.
If the 3TB drive you're looking at is the Seagate Barracuda, don't get it. Their 3TB drives have fairly high failure rates. Go with a 2TB or 4TB drive instead. (It's been a while since I looked at the stats for it, so that might have changed, but I wouldn't risk it)

My only thought is if you plan to overclock, use a non-stock cooler, you can get a much better cooler for 40-60 bucks

Insanity is not the absence of sanity, but the willingness to ignore it for a purpose. Chaos is the result of this choice. I relish in both.
