1) Change out the GTX 770 out for an R9 280X. It's $100 cheaper, faster, and has a 3 GB frame buffer.
2) Get the 840 evo.
3) Get this for the HDD instead: [url]http://pcpartpicker.com/part/seagate-internal-hard-drive-st3000dm001[/url] since Toshiba drives aren't very reputable, fast, or dependable.
If the purpose is gaming:
1) Downgrade to a 4670k since you won't notice a performance drop.
2) Downgrade to 8 GB of RAM.
The Samsung 840 Series is decent, but for $100, you can get something better. I can recommend the Mushkin Enhanced 128GB, it has better read/write

I'm using this for video editing and gaming, also, never heard of that graphics card before, I should check it out :D
The graphics card was just released. It's an improved version of the 7970 which was also faster than the GTX 770 while being $100 cheaper.
Oh that's cool, thanks bro!
