CPU is allright though i'd go for an i5
GPU is allright
RAM same story it's all good
SSD is allright
HDD i suggest going for the cheapest hitachi ultrastar 1tb hdd out there or for a wd caviar blue , seagate has a terrifying high failiure rate per year ( 14% or 15% compared to 2%-4% for Hitachi and 2-5% for WD )
PSU go for a seasonic psu cx psu's are made out of cheap capacitors
Case i have no experience with aerocool so can't tell about that
OS nothing to say 'bout it

An i3 and 660 won't be getting you maxed in BF4 or upcoming games...

This would be better suited for what you're looking for in gaming:

It isn't all from pccomponentes.com that build goes around 617,95€ and add 60 more euros to it because he doesn't want to build it and install the os , so it goes up to 687,95€ without the psu and ram because you can't find it on there
And he's paying 60~ more euros to get his os installed and his pc built
So add that to your build and it costs 835€~
