Hi guys, I've decided to renew my PC and would like your opinion on my build. I do not plan to overclock. My budget is 1000€ more o less.

CPU: Intel Core i5-4670 3.4Ghz
Mobo: Asus H87 Pro
Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
RAM: Kingston HyperX Beast DDR3 1600 PC3-12800 8GB 2X4GB CL9
SSD: Samsung 840 Evo SSD Series 120GB SATA3 (For OS)
HDD: WD Caviar Black 1TB SATA3 7200rpm
GPU: Asus GeForce GTX 770 DirectCU II OC 2GB GDDR5
Tower: Either Zalman Z11 or NZXT Phantom 410
Power: Corsair CS550M 550W 80 Plus Gold Modular

Is this an OK build? Thanks.

Looks good but there are a few things I would change.
PSU to XFX XTR 650w
No CPU cooler because the 4670 is not overclockable.
Looks Good

Yes i wouldn't change a single piece in that! It's almost like i've made the list myself. :) 
I would just go for what you've already planned, it's looking to be a well balanced gaming pc. Good job

Isn't it a good idea to keep the CPU as cool as possible, even when not OC? I went with the 212 EVO because it's cheap and got good reviews.
Is the Caviar Blue better than Black?
550W is enough for this build right?

Thanks.

This is what I would go with. It has a gtx780. You also don't need an aftermarket cooler on a non K CPU. It's in USD but it's worth about the same as 892 euros.

IF we could just afford that in Europe ;) 
prices are much higher (770 in eu costs almost the same as the 780 in the us)

The black is better but it's not really worth the price difference. The stock cooler will be sufficient. If it gets too hot for you, then you can get a cooler in the future. I didn't know that the 770 was so expensive in EU.

Black is the best performing, Blue is the all-rounder stability & GB/euro. I would go for Black

550w is enough i assure you, im using a 550w myself on a overclocked i5-4670K with a power hungry AMD R9 290, and it runs like a charm.

Hope this helps you! :)

Well i did maybe go a little wild there but most parts are atleast halfway up there. The 770 is $430 for a cheap version with 2GB where i live.

I would change the PSU to a Seasonic M12ii 520w if you can afford it.

I live in Spain and some of the components are, either a lot more expensive, or I simply cannot get them.

Seasonic is difficult here.
