I've selected the parts for my first gaming PC, suggestions are much appreciated!

[A Sentient Keyboard]

Hey people, I´m building a PC for the first time, and I'd greatly appreciate some help in finalizing my planned build. I think I picked good parts, but then again I am an amateur who couldn't tell a CPU for a GPU two weeks ago.

Relevant info:
– I will be using my PC for games, movies, and general use (Chrome, Word, Excel, nothing too demanding).
– I'd like to be able to play next-gen games on high or mid settings for a while ('a while' being dependent on how fast requirements will jump in the near future, but let's say 2-3 years).
– I'm not on a strict budget, but saving money is always nice. I live in the Netherlands, so the prices listed below are Dutch.
– My monitor has a resolution of 1920x1080. I'm only using one monitor.
– I most likely won't overclock from the get go, but I'd like to be able to in the future.
– I don't mind the sound of fans too much (I tune it out pretty quickly and I will use headphones for games/music/movies), but I want to make sure the temperature in my PC stays acceptable.

Selected components:
CPU: Intel Core i5 4670K – €195
CPU cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO – €25
Video card: Asus R9 280X DCII Top – €285
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z87X-UH3D – €144
Memory: Crucial Ballistix Tactical BLT2C4G3D1608ET3LX0CEU (2x4GB, DDR3-1600, 1.35V) – €65
Storage: Western Digital Blue WD10EZEX 1TB – €51
Storage: Samsung 840 EVO 120GB – €80
Power Supply: Seasonic M12II 620W – €67
Case: Corsair Carbide 500R – €96
Optical drive: LG GH24NS90 – €16

Total: €1014

So... does it look good? Are there any bottlenecks? Have I picked a notoriously bad component somewhere?
Any input is welcome, thanks in advance!

Looks pretty good, I'd up the DRAM to 1866 as Haswell scales extremely well to faster DRAM, with your combo, maybe something like the 1866/8 RJ X if available in your area

Overclocking in the future - Get a better CPU cooler, (Noctua)
I'd go 2X8gb on the memory.
Power supply - get a 750 watt seasonic or corsair Silver or better.
Otherwise it looks good...

I've looked at the G.Skill RAM (€75), but it's too high to fit under the CPU cooler on my motherboard; 2 of the 4 slots will be blocked. Of course this isn't an immediate issue, but I'd like to add RAM later and I've heard mixing different sets of RAM can lead to problems.

EDIT: I could also get the 1866 version of my currently selected RAM for €69, although this will run at 1.5V instead of 1.35 and have 9ms CAS latency instead of 8. That seems like a good upgrade, right?

The Noctua NH-U12S is recommended by www.logicalincrements.com, so I assume that one's good? It'll cost me €54, is that good value compared to the 212 EVO? I'll probably keep my overclocking on the mild side considering I'm a newbie at this.16GB memory seems pretty much for the current build, and will cost me about double. Do you think RAM requirements will make a very high jump? I'll make sure take a look at the PSU.

16gb is overkill, the hyper 212 evo will work fine for mild overclocking, but if you decide to do heavier overclocking, you would want something similar to the Noctua.

212 evo could easily oc to 4.5 or even 4.7 idk if this is mild oc

That's about what I was thinking of, yes. I think I'm better off saving some money and getting the 212 EVO, even if it means leaving a part of the overclock potential untapped.

It will be fine with the Hyper 212 EVO, I run 32gB of RJ X under one on my SB and 32GB of Tridents under another on my IB, the fans are the EVO are height adjustable, just install the DRAM then clip on the fan slightly above them - with no loss of cooling

Oh, I wasn't aware of that, thanks for the headsup. However, another aspect is that the manufacturer page of my motherboard states:

"Support for DDR3 3000(O.C.) / 2933(O.C.) / 2800(O.C.) / 2666(O.C.) / 2600(O.C.) / 2500(O.C.) / 2400(O.C.) / 2200(O.C.) / 2133(O.C.) / 2000(O.C.) / 1866(O.C.) / 1800(O.C.) / 1600 / 1333 MHz memory modules"

Does that mean I can't use the RAM unless I OC my motherboard? Or that it won't utilize the extra speed above 1600 until I OC my motherboard?

Also, is Crucial a good enough brand for the 1866 RAM, or would you recommend paying 6 euros more for the 1866 G.Skill Ripjaw X's?

 

[Tradesman1]

No, most 4670Ks can easily handle 1866 with no problem and many can handle 2133 without OCing the CPU, It's generally around 2400 that you really need to think about OCing the CPU to carry the DRAM and that is often easily accomplished at 4.1 or so
