    Looks good no changes needs to be made at all, running all games up to ultra settings , i'm guessing the ssd will be your boot drive and the 1 tb is extra storage , the cpu cooler is great and got good to excellent reviews even better than the popular coolermaster hyper 212+ evo, never a fan boy go ahead build it really it's good enough

    Not bad, though you should get a 2tb secondary drive because it'll fill up quickly - that's for sure. Additionally for the price those CPU fans cost you should up it to a Corsair H100i for a watercooling solution which will keep the rest of the components cooler due to the fans extracting the heat as opposed to throwing it around the case (I have one and it works a charm).
