Hi all! I am putting together my first gaming rig, or rather my first rig ever. I've compiled a checklist of components I plan on using, however nothing is set in stone and I wanted to get some feedback/recommendations. My goal is to end up with a reliable and fairly powerful system that can tackle most games on high settings.
Case: Zalman z11 plus hf1
CPU: Intel core i5-3470 ivy bridge
RAM: kingston HyperX blue 8gb (2x4gb)
PSU: Corsair CX500M 500W
GPU: Galaxy GeForce gtx 660
Mobo: ASRock B75M R2.0 LGA 1155 Intel B75 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS
HDD: seagate barracuda 500gb
optics drive: ASUS 24X DVD Burner - Bulk 24X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 12X DVD+R DL 24X DVD-R 6X DVD-RW 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-R 32X CD-RW 48X CD-ROM Black SATA Model DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS – OEM
OS: windows 8

Give me your thoughts! Thanks in advance!

I probably should have mentioned, but I'm on a bit of a budget. How much more would a 760 be?

I'm sure I could stretch there in that case. Thanks for the help!
