It's fine for generic gaming needs. Samsung 840 is probably cheaper SSD than the Intel 320 one if you're interested in saving money (or possibly even afford to step up to 250GB).

Get the 7870XT Sapphire instead, same performance and cheaper.

If you wanna stick to Nvidia then change it to something with 2 coolers, the Gainward is reference = slower & runs hotter.
