So im looking for a good power supply. this is my first time building a gaming pc so im relatively new to this, but my hopes are to run all of the newest games on very high with great fps. so please let me know if their are any parts that are better for my money then the ones i have now.

Check out Seasonic, XFX, EVGA, Antec (Avoid the Basiq series), and Corsair (Avoid the CX and builder series). I'd personally avoid the other brands, besides maybe Cooler Master, but their PSUs are hit or miss

You can never go wrong with a Seasonic. That PSU should work well for you

Depends on the games you play. For more demanding games like Battlefield, Crysis, and Metro you will not be able to max them. If you don't want to spend unnecessary amounts of money, I'd get an FX 8320/8350 and an R9 280x instead of a 4670k and 760

GTX 760 will be able to max Battlefield and Metro, maybe even Crysis (30fps). I own the R9 270X and can max everything.

The GTX 760 will not be able to max everything. It's still a great card and will get 40-60fps on high, but it will nowhere near max BF4, Metro LL, and Crysis 3. It takes a 780 to do that with 60fps

R9 270X runs Battlefield 4 60fps w/ 2xMSAA (50fps with 4xMSAA) which is maxing considering you would not notice the difference in visual quality unless you stare at something. I consider playing a game without it stuttering as playable (30+ fps) so in that sense the GTX 760 would be able to max out Metro: LL and Crysis 3.

Getting 2 760s over time would be a good idea as long as they are 4gb (2gb VRAM is no longer enough to max games. BF4 also uses >2gb). 2 4gb 760s are more powerful than a GTX 780
