I am building the PC for gaming and for college (studying informatic engineering), I will never overclock but I will get a second graphics card later. Is this build good, would you change something on it?

Corsair Carbide 200R 65,90€
Corsair Builder CX750W 82,90€
Kingston HyperX DDR3-1600MHz 2x4Gb 66,90€
Asus Z87-Plus 159,90€
MSI GTX760 2GB 259,90€
Intel i7-4770 289,90€
Seagate Barracuda 1TB (ST1000DM003) 59,50€

Total 985,30€. Budget is 1000€ but still need to pay for assembly.

I did not post any links because I am getting this from a local store, but prices are simillar to those of amazon.

Both are good PSUs. 660ti will do fine.
300R better than centurion!

Everything is good if you are not planning to overclock. Still check the price of the 'K' version. If there is no significant difference, go for it.
That PSU is bad. C series are not that tough.
Your case won't let your 'super' components breathe. Consider some other case.

In the same store the K version is 50$ more expensive, and the other cases in the price range are the CoolerMaster Silencio 450or the Aerocool Templarius. I can get the Corsair GS700 at the same price is it better? Thanks for the info.

Leave the K then. GS700 is better than CX one. Has a LED fan too. But has some reported fan noise issues (YouTube it). Again that's not the case for everyone and you can always RMA it. To have a problem free exprerience go for seasonic.
I would suggest increase youe budget for the case since you are already spending lavish, why compromise on the case? A case is the house where your components will live. Corsair 300R will be near your budget. If you can spend more 500R is the best option.

Ok, I spoke with the IT guy at my uncle's company and he can get me the corsair 300R at the same price or the CoolerMaster Centurion 6 (around 70€), and I'm getting the XFX Pro 750W Core Edition or the Corsair 700GS(they are the same price, around 80€). However with all this changes im getting the 660 TI just for 210€, not a big hit in my opinion since I'm only playing on a 1360x768 screen and I can use that money to improve the psu and the case.
