Is This A Good Build?

[RCinACTION]

So I am building my first gaming rig and I wanted to know if what I have selected will be good enough to run newer games like BF4 and Titanfall. Also keep in mind that I don't plan on overclocking at the moment, but I could do it in the near future. Here are my specs:

CPU: Intel Core i5-4440 3.1GHz Quad-Core Processor
CPU Cooler: None
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H87-D3H ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Storage: Corsair Force Series GT 240GB 2.5" Solid State Disk and Seagate Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Video Card: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 770 2GB Video Card
Case: NZXT CA-PH530-R1 ATX Full Tower Case
Power Supply: XFX 550W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply
Optical Drive: LG WH14NS40 Blu-Ray/DVD/CD Writer
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 8 (OEM) (64-bit)
Expansion Cards / Networking: None
Total: $1312.37 (£787.55)

I also have a few more questions. How many monitors do you think I can run off of this setup? Do I need a Sound Card or Wired/Wireless Network Adapters? Do I need Thermal Compound or additional case fans? And finally, Are there any parts I can change to make this PC better for a better price?

I would do this differently.

Get an i5 4440 and a h87 motherboard simply because they use a newer socket.

Get a gtx760 over the 660ti as it does not have the bandwidth problem and it more powerful.

You do not need a sound card or wired network adapter any modern motherboard has both. It does not have wireless though.

I don't see a 'k' after that 3470....

Thank you, but some of my specs weren't right because I changed them and forgot to update this. I have updated it now, so do you mind looking back over it? Thanks.

Change the CPU and motherboard like I said. You are buying previous gen tech.

Also 8GB is good for a gaming rig, you won't use 8gb running 2 games at once

Thanks, look better?

No, you have a mini ITX board. It is TINY and does not fit in normal cases. Get an ATX or mATX board.

Ok lol, what about now? Thanks for all the help.

That board will work but it is for overclocking which you cannot do with that CPU. It would be more cost effective to get an H87 motherboard.

That one okay? Thank you again for all your help.
