This is my first time assembling a computer(for games mostly) and would like some suggestions on the components that i have chosen. I would like components(if you a have a better one in mind) in the same price range as the ones i have listed. The components for my pc are as follows:

Processor : Intel 3.4 GHz LGA1150 4670K i5 4th Generation Processor (or 3570k, is there a difference and if so which is better?)

Motherboard : Gigabyte GA-Z87-D3HP Motherboard(if 3570k is better please recommend a motherboard for it.)

RAM : Corsair Vengeance DDR3 8 GB (1 x 8 GB) PC RAM (CMZ8GX3M1A1600C10)

Graphics Card : ZOTAC NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost 2 GB GDDR5 Graphics Card(should i buy this from some other company? Hoo much power supply will i need for it)

Thank you for your time:)

Your CPU is good and so is your motherboard.

For the RAM, I would go for a 2x4GB kit.

Your GPU also is a good choice but I´d check the prices for a GTX 770 and see if it is in your budget.

A quality 550W-650W PSU should be enough to leave you some headroom.

Also, you might want to get an aftermarket CPU cooler since you got the k-version of the CPU.

The GTX 770 is bit too pricey for me, plus i have recently come across another graphic card and wonder if it would be better than the 2 gb 650 ti(btw i intend to buy 2 2gb 650ti for a total of 4gb) and was wondering which would be better.

The two graphic cards are Nvidia GeForce GTX 650 ti 2gb or the Nvidia GeForce GTX 560 ti.
