Hey everyone!

I need some suggestions on this build. Is it complete or something isn't compatible? Maybe it's a bad build overall :D

Motherboard: Asrock H81 PRO BTC, DualDDR3-1600, SATA3
RAM: Kingston DIMM 8gb pc 12600 hyperx
SSD: Kingston v300 120gb sata3 , 450/450MBs
PCU: Cooler Master GX Lite 600w, Single 12v rail
GPU: Zotac geforce gtx 660, 2gb DDR5(192 bit)
CPU: I5-4670, quad core, 3.4 ghz, 6mb
CPU cooler: Deepcool "Gammaxx 300"

P.S. Budget build for gaming

That GPU does you no good if the motherboard in unable to take advantage of the PCIe lanes that the GPU is designed for. If you want that card to work at it's potential you need a better motherboard for sure. Speaking of which I swapped it for a less expensive Gigabyte superclocked card that's the same chipset and just as good for your build.

I also upgraded the cpu to the K version so it would be unlocked, in case you decide to overclock at all. The non K version is a locked cpu and is not intended for overclocking. Changed the cooler to the 212 EVO as that Deepcool is one of the worst tower coolers on the market. It's fairly quiet but it's almost dead last on cooling on every comparison chart. Here's a much better build and if you...

I'd advise against that PSU and that SSD. Kingston has swapped out nand chips on there SSDNow lineup without warning or informing customers, resulted in VASTLY reduced speeds and life expectancy MX100 or samsung 840/850 are good choices for ssds. Most of Coolermaster PSUs are junk and I'd just avoid them overall. (they do have a couple good lineups but theres usually better deals anyway) Corsair/Seasonic/Antec are the ones you want to look at for PSUs.

I'm using one of my local internet shops, because shipment is free and parts aren't overpriced. Well, you can make a build at pcpartpiker or somewhere else and I will just order from my local one.
Edit: I would like to save that GPU and if costs are too high in order to build complete PC for 550euros, I might go with a weaker cpu. 3.4 quad is quite big :)

Here's a much better build and if you need to make comparable adjustments to items just ask and we can tell you if items are actually comparable in specification and performance. I realize some of these items might not be available in UK and you'll have to find their equivalents. 544.33 Euros if converted from US dollars.
