Hi all. I'm new here! I was hoping that you could help me with a computer I'm building. I want to play World of warcraft, Diablo 3, The Sims 3 (soon 4), etc. Here is what I've come up with so far -

Intel Core i5 4670K
Gigabyte Z87-HD3 Motherboard
G-Skill 8GB Ripjaws X DDR3 2133 Dual Kit
Corsair Builder Series CXM 600W Modular PSU
SanDisk SDSSDHP-128G-G25 128GB Ultra Plus
KFA2 GeForce GTX 760 2048MB GDDR5

Is this a good setup , or does it need tweaking? I look forward to your replies, thank you in advance.

I would say everything looks good to me, although..

Do you have another HDD to put into the computer for storage?.. I have an SSD and 1TB in mine, and i would not be able to survive without my terrabyte holding all of my games (almost 600-700GB worth). You may consider getting a 1tb and a slightly more powerful Power supply, a 750watt.. an SSD is nice but it will fill up faster than you know it.
 
yes it is a good build :)
