I'm considering this build with perhaps a smaller hard drive and 16gb gskill ripjaw ram.

A few questions:

1- Should i stick with the I5-4670K or go for a different I5 or the I7-4770K or 4790K?
2- Is the PSU powerful enough to support this build?
3- I dont know much about motherboards, but will the one i chose do the trick?
4- Will the MSI GeForce GTX 770 2GB TWIN FROZR Video Card run any game on high settings?
5- any additional cooling needeed?

Thanks in advance!

1) I5-4670K good for any modern game,getting anything better kicks in diminishing returns,stick to it.
2)Should be no problem,unless you're non-stop on full load.. im using 750W myself so no worries for me about overstainin' it.
3) Uh, I guess, I'm not motherboard professor either,but it seems enough for some OC'ing.
4)You got that damn right.
5)Not really,you could try some closed loop liquid coolin' just for the sake of fanciness and deadly silence ,nevertheless your picked cooler already so silent that on low load you might think that:
SLENDER MAN IS RIGHT BEHIND YOU!

1) The 4690K would be the only suggestion I make. It's the newer i5. You would have to switch your Mobo to a Z97 though. The 4670K is no slouch though.
2) Yes, as long as you have no plans to add a second video card anytime soon. If you plan to SLI 770s later, get an 850W.
3) The MSI GD65 is a great motherboard. Should do anything you want it to do.
4) At 1080p it will run most games at high settings with more than enough performance room. Some games (like Metro) are hogs and will slow it down a bit, but will still be playable.
5) Cooling should be fine.

1.Intel i5-4670K is a strong CPU, but if you have the money, go with i7-4770K. The difference isn't huge, they are all great. Or get an i5-4690K
2. It will be enough, for sure. It's a Bronze 80+, so great for its price.
3. Yes, it will. You can do some overclocking. It''a a Z87 Chipset, second best.
4. Most likely, yes. But beware of BF4 and Watch Dogs.
5.Your CPU Cooler is solid, and with a reasonable high clock a btter one won't be needed, but test for yourself.

I am 99% sure. giving 1% to the unexpected events,if you're the kind of unfortunate guy which is follwed by murphy's law all his life,then just to be completelly sure and run on max get 780 if money is no issue.

This is at 1920x1200, not 1080p, but it's pretty close in performance. The 770 will play BF4 at above 40 FPS easily at Ultra, but you may have some dips. I wouldn't play 64 players online with Ultra, personally.
