Hello. I'm trying to put together a gaming pc. Any advice would be useful. I'm planning to buy the following components:

Dell UltraSharp U2412M, 24" LED, DisplayPort

EVGA GTX-770 ACX 2GB GDDR5, PCI-E x16 3.0

Samsung SSD 840 EVO Basic, TLC, 250GB, SATA-3, 2.5 Zoll

Asus R.O.G. Maximus VI Hero, Z87, LGA1150, SLI/CFX

Kingston Grey Series (2x, 4GB, DDR3-1600, DIMM)

Cooler Master Storm Enforcer SGC-1000-KWN1 (Midi Tower)

WD Caviar Green, 64MB, 2TB, SATA-3

be quiet! DARK POWER PRO P10 (750W)

be quiet! Shadow Rock 2 (120mm)

Intel Core i5 4670K BOX, 3.4GHz, LGA 1150, 4C/4T, unlocked

Thanks already for the feedback.
 
Well everything is nice for gaming and all that, would reccomend a WD black or RED series, the green ones are the ones with the most failure rate and lowest speed
The motherboard seems a little excessive for an i5, really excessive
as for the rest, the GTX770 will serve u excellently, u got a similar build to mine, actually same CPU/GPU, can tell u i get 60+fpss at BF4 all maxed out at 1080p
Cant comment on the PSU, idd say XFX/Seasonic make the best PSUs, but that one might be good, havent got any experience with the brand
 
I knew i forgot a brand, yes corsair, as long as its not the CX series
The Z87-a is a good option, it doesnt have built in wifi tho 😛 some people need that, but it handles SLI, OC and pretty much everything a regular gamer will need
The 750w mark is good, 650w is normally good enought for a single GPU system, the gold part is the efficiency
 
Thanks for the feedback. I think I will settle for this then:
