This is my first time building a PC. I have some doubts about the parts and i'd love some feedback on this configuration
I'm planning to use this for mostly general use, graphic design, development and occasional gaming.

Processor: Intel Core i7-4770
Mobo: ASRock Z87M Extreme4
GPU: MSI gtx760 2 GB
RAM: Corsair Vengeance DDR3 8 GB
PSU: Cooler Master Thunder 700 Watts
Storage: WD Caviar Green 2 TB + Samsung 840 Series 120 GB SSD

*Not sure about the GPU. I can get gtx660 for ~$100 cheaper
How big is the performance difference between the 660 and 760?

*Should i get a cheaper processor?

Also, can someone please recommend a nice case for this?

The GTX760 is best for your needs but GTX660 can also do the Work but buy GTX660 only when you have to save for some Important reasons because 1st , Its Previous Gen Card . 2nd It's not as powerful as the Mighty GTX760 is .

Now on the Processor . No , Core i7-4770 is the best in its Price and will serve your all Needs and does not need to be Down-Graded .

However , I will ask you to buy 12GB Min Ram because you are going to do Graphics Designing and Development and It Eats a Hell of Ram :)

Select it as Best answer if this helped you :)

EDIT :- What is your Budget for the Case ?

Thanks for your time. More RAM does seem like a good idea

Can shell out 80-100 bucks for the case
