CPU---
Intel 3.4 GHz LGA 1150 4670 i5 4th Generation Processor


Motherboard---
MSI H87M-G43

GPU---
ZOTAC NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 2GB

RAM---

PSU---
Cooler Master Thunder 600 Watts PSU

DVD Drive---(dont need a good one)

1.on a scale of 1 to 10, where does my build score?

2.any other suggestions to change something but with no price increase?

3.are there bottlenecks?

4.i still need a cpu and gpu cooler. can you name some good ones,if they are necessary.
thanks

You should be fine. Might want to consider getting a different psu, but I think you should be fine overall.

1) 6/10
2) you're going to need to re-consider the PSU. CM PSUs are just not that good. cut down from a 4670 to an i5-4430 if you have to. that 0.3ghz or so clock drop isn't going to result in any major noticeable drop in performance, and a quality PSU matters a lot more than a few fps shaved off. you should be able to afford a tier2 at least. http://community.newegg.com/eggxpert/computer_hardware/f/135081/t/45344.aspx

also, get a 2x4gb kit over a single 8gb, especially if this is strictly for gaming. you may as well use that dual channel feature for a snappier performance.

3) nope.

4) no you don't need either one of those. since you're not OCing the CPU, you can use the stock heatsink for the time being and grab a third party heatsink later at your convenience if temps/noise aren't to your liking. i see no reason why you're looking for a GPU cooler unless that zotac is a reference cooler or you plan to OC that GPU off the charts requiring a better cooler like Arctic's Accelero Xtreme series.

you might consider this build. i added hdd and case and also switch to another psu, rams, mobo and gpu. cpu cooler is optional as this cpu is non overclocking
