Ok, I was hoping that my case wasn't going to cause any sorts of cramped space.

Wait!

1. You can get a more powerful 760 for cheaper. Also you can also get a much more powerful 7970 which is somewhere in between the 760 and 770.

2. Never go with a Coolmax PSU, they are nothing good than a paperweight. You should not skimp on the PSU otherwise your parts might get damaged.

3. Well.. 16GB is quite unnecessary for gaming. 8GB should be just fine. (Though it's okay considering the 90 dollar price.)

4. For about the same price, you can get a better quality Asus Monitor.

5. Also there is no use of a Z87 board with a 4430 CPU. I mean you cannot overclock it at all. Any cheap motherboard will do the job here without problems.

I am not sure how the guy above me just accepted the build without warning and that too termed it as a "good build??" and that too he is an admin. This makes my mind blow.

@Tradesman1 : Dude, I have no problem with you. I just don't like the build you recommended, which you said to him as a good build.

This is what you should go for instead. STAY AWAY FROM BAD ADVICES

+ Much better quality PSU than the Coolmax one. And Antec one is awesome.
+ Much better graphics card. The 7970 just kills the mid range 660Ti.
+ Overclockable i5 4670K and little bit powerful than the 4430.
+ The CM Hyper 212 EVO is way better than the Artic Cooler that you were going for before.
+ Much better Asus monitor with 2ms response time which is sweet for gaming.
+ Nice choice on the Antec GX 700 case. It has got very good airflow. One of the best airflow in sub 100 dollar price range.

So, I think you should stay away from that build and go for this improved one instead. That build that you were going for is NOT AT ALL RECOMMENDED by me.

I hope this helps. Take a look at the build and tell me what you think about it. Your feedback would be highly appreciated.
