I recently got a case, PSU and graphics card from my brother, so I decided to build a gaming pc around them. I also plan to do some video recording and editing for youtube too. My budget is max around £900 for the rest of the components, but that needs to cover a decent monitor too.

Processor: i5 - 3570K (Not intending on overclocking immediately, but may eventually in future)
Graphics: EVGA GeForce GTX 670 FTW 2GB
Motherboard: AsRock Z77 Extreme 4 Motherboard
RAM: Kingston HyperX DDR3 1600MHz CL9 8GB (2x 4GB)
SSD: Kingston Technology HyperX 3K 2.5-inch 120GB SSD
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 1TB Hard Drive (7200rpm) SATA 64MB
PSU: Corsair CX500 (I've been told this might not be enough, if so, what PSU would be better?)
Optical Drive: Lite-On iHAS124-04 DVD/CD Writer (Cheapest I could find, I'll only use it for OS installing.)
Case: Cooler Master Storm Scout

Is this build ok or could I do something better? Can anybody recommend case cooling and a good monitor?

(Also not sure if I put this in the right place...sorry if I didn't)

Your PSU is ok but if you whant to OC and put more GPU's eventualy i sugest geting one a litle stronger Corsair GS Series GS700 or the higher series of Corsair Antec Seasonic. And about that HDD i dont trust Seagate that much. I for 1 am WD fan. I didn't have 1 WD fail. Had afew of them for some years like the one i have now is working since 2007.
