I am not Gaming on my PC but I am Programming, I am just fine with the integrated graphics from my motherboard. please leave any comments below since this is my first computer build

I would have gotten a Kingston v300 series 120GB SSD with a WD Caviar Black 1TB. And Corsair XMS3 16GB (4x4GB)

You might want to look at a different power supply company just in case you have problems later on because OCZ recently filed for bankruptcy
