You don't give a budget but that looks sweet to me and more than capable of gaming for a while to come. I'd consider 8GB ram but would check the cost of slightly faster ram 1800-2400Mhz and look at a 4TB WD green instead. I have the SSD you mention and would go for the 500GB Crucial on the basis it's not much more but as with all these things its easier to spend someone else's cash. Keep us posted and please let us know what you get. Good hunting.
