I planned to build a gaming pc for about 800$ and Im pretty sure ive done it, though I need all opinions on each part and make sure everything is compatible and will run well
The following link shows the build

All feedback is appreciated, thanks!

500w is too low,drop the cooler if your not gonna overclock I am running on stock right now.you can get a 1tb cheaper than what you have,and definitely get the 670,it kicks the 760's ass for the same price,here is your build modified to much better specifications http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2eC96

$30 more but definitely worth it.

RazerZ it's the same build practically but your psu has a sucky brand and the 670 beats your fancy 760,and op does not need a cooler if he is not overclocking,I am running my i7 on stock perfectly right now.

Sucky PSU? If you think a CX is better than an Antec HCG series then well you're just plain wrong. Do you even know what a tier two PSU is?

Turns out the 760 is about equal to the 670. On certain games its faster, others slower. Still for the same price I would get the more power efficient one and it also looks nice

Well we all make mistakes. I was thinking about the 660 not 670.

Im sticking with the 700 series mainly for a reliable decent generation and its on sale on newegg right now and cheaper, staying with the 760 along with im on a budget of less than 900$ for this stuff, and im not planning on upgrading any time soon so I think the power supply will do nicely for the next few years
