Rest not too bad, do you need the power of the 3770K cpu.

What's the use of this build, gaming? If so then you won't need an i7 just go for an i5 and drop the ram down to 8GB as you won't use that much in games. Also, it might be worth picking up a z77x-d3h while i's still on sale. I'd also recommend changing from the corsair CX600 to something made by seasonic. As I've been told the CX has cheapo chinese caps. Plus only a 2 year warranty incase something goes bad. Plus for only £10 more you can get this ssd http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-000-SD&groupid=1657&catid=2101&subcat=2103 Which has an extra 60GB for a tenner. Rest looks good

You should go for 2 hard drives if you're not planning on running the games you record on the SSD. It would greatly reduce loading times etc when rcording
