Looks nice.I do have a comment on the CPU.


If its a pure gaming rig then I think an i7 may be a bit over the top.
I run an i7 and at the time of this writing I'm running 2x WoW clients, Browser with 6 tabs open, skype, mumble, utorrent, steam and a mod manager for Skyrim.
My CPU is only utilizing 4 cores, sometimes a 5th does 5% load.


Depending of how many new games you plan to play I might upgrade the graphics card.


Regarding the storage, that is entirely up to your personal needs what you might want.
I think 250GB SSD is enough for games and programs.
Once you start needing to store images and videos it can skyrocket fast.
We've switched to NAS in our family to preserve things like that.
