Sorry, if there is bad english!

I change my mind very often because I want to get best for the buck(~520eur,~600usd). So, here is my, probably, next pc:

CPU: fx 6300 (later will add 212 evo)
GPU: msi gtx 760 2gb 2gd5/OC
MOBO: gigabyte ga-970a-ds3p
HDD: WD caviar blue 1tb SATA 7200rpm
RAM: crucial ballistix 4gb ddr3 1600mhz (later will add another like this, this is for the budget)
PSU: corsair builder cx500 (later will be changed, I take this because I dont have a lot of choices,for now)
Case: gf atx-1331b

I want to know, will this play me BF4/3, FarCry3, GTA IV, cod ghosts/black ops 2?
And will this record me my Minecraft and other mid range game gameplay?
And later, I will try overclocking, maybe. Is the psu good for that?
Will 2 monitors be supported?

EDIT: I changed psu to fortron fsp raider 550 atx 88+, I found it very equivalent in the price with the cx.

2 Monitors will be supported but if you want 2 or more monitors go for a better gpu like 780 or 780 ti

Looks reasonable, but I would definitely look at more than 4GB of RAM, especially if you want to record anything.

I'd get a better PSU. 500W is OK-ish, but the CX series has cheap caps that will cause it to die early. I'd get a 550W+ unit from the second link in my sig.

OCing is OK, though your MB doesn't have great VRMs, so I wouldn't go far.

2 monitors also fine, though only one can be VGA without an active adapter. EDIT: In response to post above (Ninja'd), I'm guessing he's only gaming on one.

I dont think that there will be more than 2 monitors, but both wont be used for gaming, the second, probaly, will be used for multitasking while playing games and to feel comfortable.

As I said, I will be adding another 4gb stick and a better psu later, and as a beginner in OCing I wouldnt go far with it.

how about fortron fsp raider 550 atx, I see it at tier 2 in your 2nd link?

but I see fsp at tier 3 as well, what does this mean? i cant find more model letters at specifications.

I hate choosing psu's.

why not go for r9 280x(it will be a lil bit costlier than 760),but u will have a performance similiar to gtx 770,or go for r9 290 which have the same performance as gtx 780 but higher noise and temp..

Because they're ridiculously expensive due to the current LiteCoin craze. 280X is very slightly slower than the 770, but costs a lot more. Same goes for 290, 290X.
