Building a gaming rig for the first time. how does this setup look?

Hi guys. I really miss my days of pc gaming so I'm looking to save up for the next couple of months and get this build hopefully. Just wondering if it looks okay because I'm pretty much a beginner but I've been doing a lot of research and looking back over the other threads on here and want to make sure I haven't left…

Actually you know what, I'm saving a hundred quid on a different monitor so I might just go for the ssd. I'm trying to gear my build towards a higher end spec so I think I may as well. I'll miss the tb of space but tbh I play a lot of open end sandbox games like the witcher, fallout, wow etc and I'm planning on getting skyrim in November. I hear that the ssd's are great for such games due to faster boot and loading times.
I presume I don't need a different psu or anything. The 550w will still work okay. I think I'm gonna stick with the 922 as it's better for cooling and a good friend has one and recommended it.
