About a month ago i decided to get rid of the old pc i have and build a new one which could perform well for the next 2-3 years , here are the components i chose:

CPU - Intel Core i7 4770K
Motherboard - Msi Gaming Gseries Z87-GD65
Memory - Kingston HyperX Beast 16 GB 2133Mhz
GPU - Msi Gaming Gseries GTX 770 TF
Storage - Kingston HyperX 3K 120 GB , WD Green 3 TB
CPU Cooling - Corsair H100i
Power Supply - OCZ ZS550W 80+ Bronze
Case - Thermaltake Chaser A41

So the first question i have is this a good build which will run well for 2-3 years(By this i mean to run all future games on High settings)? I need your recommendations guys because i'm building a gaming PC for the first time.

And the second one is if i can use two power supplies in one PC? I am asking this because i don't think that 550 Watts is enough for this system , but i can't afford a good one . I have one old Cooler Master 240 Watt power supply which is of very good quality , so , can i do like this: Use The OCZ Power for the Mobo and the GPU ,and the other one for the H100i , SSD , Hard drive and the fans? Or should I go with GTX 760? Thanks

It's a good build, you should be able to run all things on med-high in my opinion.
Don't use 2 PSU's in one system, I've heard they can blow up easily when done that way.
550W may not be enough for this system, get something like this, quality and efficient:

For gaming 8GB RAM are more than enough for now. You don't need 2133 Mhz frequency buy 1600-1866Mhz ,the diference between 1866 and 2133 are insignifiant. And use the diference to buy a good PSU 600w-650w because you will need for overclocking.Corsair,Seasonic,Antec,Enermax,XFX.
