Hey everyone!

I just wanted to get some help knowing if I'd be making the right purchase.

My ol' motherboard apparently got busted yesterday, and I decided to finally buy a new PC, since the one I have has a few 5 years on it :p.

So I've been looking around and, with the very limited hardware knowledge I have, I managed to put together something.

I just want you guys, who know way more than me in terms of hardware for gaming, to tell me if these are good components for a medium gaming computer:

Case: COOLERMASTER Elite 430
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 660 Ti 2.0 GB DDR-5 PCI-E 3.0 16x. 2 x DVI-I, HDMI, Display-Port
Hard Drive: Toshiba 1.0 TB SATA-3, 7200 RPM
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z77M-D3H
RAM: Kingston HiperX Gaming DDR-3 4.0 GB 1600Mhz , 240 pines x2

I've probably missed something >.<

Can you guys tell me if this would be a good machine for running most modern games at nice settings.

Btw, I'm from Uruguay, South America, so I have pretty limited places where to get this kind of hardware, and the prices here, for this kind of components is around U$S 870 :/ I know right...

Anyway, help please?
