Hey, what do you think of this gaming pc? Is there anything that won't fit together? I'm fine with some changes, if necessary, as long as they won't cost more than another 150$..

CPU: i5 4670k
CPU Cooler :Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler
Videocard: GeForce GTX 770
MoBo: ASRock Z87 Extreme6 ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
RAM: 2 x Corsair 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
SSD: Western Digital Caviar Blue 250GB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
HDD: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Case: Corsair 600T Silver ATX Mid Tower Case
Power: 550W Gold Certified

I would play games like GW2 or the upcoming Splintercell: New Division and would like this rig to be able to play games like those for atleast 2-3 years properly

Dont go with a single stick of 8gb.
get two sticks of 4gb each to take advantage of dual memory.
Rest is good.

Everything looks fine, though 8gb of ram would be more than enough for gaming. Even if you require 16gb, a kit (2*8gb) would be cheaper

I also don't see why you have an extra 250gb hdd. An ssd would be more appropriate

Also, go for a higher wattage psu for extra headroom

Yes, you are right, the i5 has way better per core performance, runs cooler and is better than the fx 8350.

I wouldn't change it

Why the sudden childish outburst? :s

Looks good mate, I would get 2x4gb G.skill 1600 RAM instead of 16gb... your PSU is pushing it but it should be fine. Also with the spare cash from the RAM buy a WD Caviar Black for the increased performance.
