Hi all, I am building my first computer, and not sure if there are any better parts than these I picked, if there is anything better please say :D

Here is my current build:

GPU: http://www.ditech.at/artikel/GPA2G16/Grafikkarte_PCI-E_3.0_ASUS_HD7870-DC2-2GD5-V2_Retail_2048MB.html

CPU: Core i5 - 4670K or Core i5 - 3570K , not sure which one should I take

RAM: 2x DDR III Kingston 4GB 1600MHZ HyperX

POWER SUPPLY: http://www.ditech.at/artikel/N60CO5/Netzteil_ATX_600_Watt_CORSAIR_CX600_V2_80Plus-Bronze.html

Computer case: ThermalTake V3 Black Edition


HDD:http://www.ditech.at/artikel/H3S10SE/Festplatte_35Zoll_SATA_6Gbs_Seagate_Desktop_HDD_1_TB_64MB_Cache.html

SSD:http://www.ditech.at/artikel/H2D01KH/Solid_State_Drive_SSD_25Zoll_SATA_6Gbs_KINGSTON_SSDNow_V300_120_GB.html

Im not sure which Motherboard and CPU cooler(I want to overclock the CPU) I should take, or if any of these are good :D
If there is anything better but still in the same price range, please say :D
Thanks in advance
cant wait to start building it

well you need to make sure whatever motherboard you get is appropriate for your CPU choice. The I5 4670K requires an LGA 1150 motherboard, while the I5 3570K requires an LGA 1155 motherboard. In either case, I would recommend ASUS as the brand to go with. they have excellent motherboards with great features and support. as far as watercooling goes, a good corsair watercooler like the H50 is a cheap solution that gives excellent heat dissipation. the only recommendation I would give is to go for faster memory. 1600mhz is standard now, but both the i5 4670k and the i5 3570k supports much faster speeds. a 2400mhz 8gb kit of ddr3 is about $70 on newegg.com. gskill is a good brand to go with. lifetime warranty.

good luck!
