any sugestions, first build

[charlie912]

so wanting to build a gaming rig, and been scurrying around the web for a while, and i (think) i have came up with an ok spec;

CPU: i5 4670
GPU: GTX 760
MoBo; Asus h87-plus
RAM: cannot decide, i want 2x4gb sticks
PSU: Corsair GS600w
HDD: WD 1tb 3.5'' Caviar Blue

i will be using this mostly for rpgs (ESO!!!), and to be on high settings. i occasionally play fps, but not often. my pc will be my media centre aswell, so will be linked to a 32'' tv aswell ,whether that makes a difference i dont know. aswell, as much as im in no delusion that this will play on ultra/high end settings for years to come, i do want it to be 'decent' in a few years time, not lagging out calling for an update.

so yeah, any suggestions on anything; money savers etc etc. oh, and suggestions on what ram to use.

any questions/ info, just ask. thanks guys

You can get an OS for a decent price off of Amazon.
