First time gaming build

[Lil rewind]

Going to build a new gamign rig just wanted to know if theres anything i missed/could be improved

Probably get a 3d screen, and yes i know Nvidia is generally better for 3d gaming, but 3 screen eyeinfinity really appeals to me.

Also hoping to stick 2 more gpu's and 3d screens in there in the future.

If money is a concern at all there's a few areas I would change to save a bit:

• The i7 2600K isn't a huge upgrade over the i5 2500K, and if you're going with an aftermarket cooler then you don't need a retail box, you can get OEM which is about £5 cheaper: i5 2500k £161.75
• The motherboard that you've got selected is really only suitable for dual GPU's as the third PCIe slot is restricted to 1/4 of max bandwidth if the other two are populated (the other two will run at x8/x8 if they're both in use which won't have a huge performance penalty).
• The SSD you've picked has a reputation for having alot of issues lately (along with every other SSD using the Sandforce 22XX series), personally I'd recommend going with a Crucial M4 instead which has a much better reputation: 128GB Crucial M4 £151.34
• 16gb of ram is excessive for gaming, you'll never use anything like that, but it does seem to be an alright price.  I'd probably downgrade to 8gb: 8GB (2x4GB) Corsair XMS3 £42.19
• That Hard drive seems really expensive, you've got a fast SSD for your OS & Software so I'd go for a cheap low power 2TB drive like this: Seagate Barracuda 2TB £125.39

Overall your savings would be (doing the above):

• £80 on the CPU
• £40 on the RAM
• £50 on the Hard drive

Which easily covers the extra expense of the more reliable SSD as well as getting you a significant way towards a second Graphics Card (Or you could go for two of these instead straight away: XFX HD6950 2GB version £196.43)
