Hi, this is my frist time in this forums but i read through the web that this is the best place to ask about pc building, if the category is wrong, forgive me, so here is my question: is the following list a good gaming pc?:

Mothertboard G1.SNIPER M5
Proccesor Intel I7 4770
PSU CORSAIR 600CXM
Case AEROCOOL Strike One Advance
8GB Kingston 1600 mhz

And if you could recommend me a good 1 tb HDD and GPU, ill apreciate it, i could care less about the dvd drive because i will just use it for my windows install (hopefully). My budget is 1050 dollars if you need the info. If my build is improvable, give your opinions, Thanks in advance.

Cant see what graphics card you prefer. If amd, go with 280X or higher. If NVidia, go with gtx 770 or higher. Single card, of course. If you go crossfire or sli, you need at least 850w power supply.

Also, dont get CX supply, get AX, TX or RM. CX is for office, not designed with gaming in mind.

For hard drive, WD caviar black. If you can afford it, get an SSD for system drive.

A 4770 is already overkill for gaming, there is no reason to get it when the 4670 is a completely viable and cheaper choice. They have the same gaming performance
 


I searched yesterday in my country store´s near my city for the pieces you reccomend and i found these ones:

CPU I5 4670 and the k version
Storage Seagate Barracuda
LG GH24NSB0 DVD/CD Writer
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler
Asus Radeon R9 290 4GB DirectCU II Video Card

They dont distribute the rest of the pieces and the shipment is way too expensive (in my country), so, which of the following would you recommend for the alternative´s? thanks in advance
Motherboard G1.SNIPER M5 or GA-Z87X-OC
RAM: 8GB Kingston 1600 mhz or Corsair Vengeance 8gb 1600 mhz or Adata Memoria Xpg Ed Gold Ddr3 1600mhz 8gb
Case AEROCOOL Strike One Advance or Xpredator EN56410
PSU Rm650 Corsair 80+gold or Cooler Master 625w Extreme Power2
