I'm relatively new to the idea of building a computer and have been using a great guide on lifehacker.com which also directed me to this forum. I would love feedback and better alternatives to the parts I have or maybe things I should add or take out any help would be great. My computer will be used for school applications, video gaming (any indie games I can't get on a ps4), and I love the idea to build things myself. My price range is around 1200$.
-I have chosen an Intel Core i5-4670k processor because it have four cords and to my understanding that is a good amount of cores for video games. 219.99$
-I chose an MSI z87-g45 gaming motherboard because it is compatible with the core and made for gaming. 153.99$
-G.SKILL Rip jaws series 8GB (2x4GB) ram I can always get more if that would be a good idea. 73.99$
-Evga GeForce GTX 770 4GB GDDR5 which is expensive, but sounded very strong and able to due well in modern video games. 449.95$
-Corsair HX series HX650 650W power supply which was a confusing part that I'm still not completely sure about tips on that would be appreciated. 109.99$
-Rosewill Blackhawk Gaming ATX mid-tower computer case. Is this to big as far as I understood a mid tower is a good size and big enough for some upgrades in the future not a lot though.
-Also should I get windows? Will this bottleneck and will this be a good build to over clock in the future?
