Hiya!
After using laptops for a long time I decided to finally build a good PC for mainly photoshop/illustrator/indesign/web work, which is also good for gaming (or the other way around :p).
Finally decided on most of the parts (trying not to spend more than i have to), and I'd like to ask for opinion, and a few questions.

The build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1eMva
CPU: Intel Core i7-3770 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor
CPU cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
Motherboard: ASRock Z77 Extreme 4 LGA1155
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 16GB (4 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
HDD: Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM
SDD: Samsung 840 Pro Series 128GB 2.5"
Video Card: Asus GeForce GTX 660 2GB Video Card
Case: Cooler Master Elite 335 Upgraded ATX Mid Tower Case
PSU: FSP Group 650W 80 PLUS Bronze Certified ATX12V / EPS12V
Monitor: Dell U2312HM 23.0" Monitor

So my questions are:
- General opinion?
- Corsair RAM or Kingston? if so, which type (has like a million versions)
- Is it worth going for the GTX 660 DC2O or DC2T versions? or I can overclock it myself?
- Better idea for PSU? That part I couldn't really decide...
- Do I need the CPU cooler? I'm not planning to overclock, that's why I don't go for the 3770k version, so the default fan should be fine, right?

Thank you very much in advance! I appreciate any comment/hint/opinion!

FSP are a safer bet (unlike Coolermaster they do actually manufacture their own PSUs). Good thing you mentioned you're Hungarian - I assumed from the dollar prices on your PC Part Picker that you were American. And the Dell is a good choice! There's really very little difference, just though it was worth saving a few $s (but actually €s!) for a little more speed. Honestly though the Dell is an excellent monitor.

Dell seems to be cheaper here (I am from Hungary, prices might be different). I had a chance to try one yesterday, I was pretty happy with the color and contrast.
As for the PSU, the company I'll order from has mainly FSP and Cooler Master PSU-s. Those any good?
