Hey guys i made a gaming build and i am just wondering your guys opinion on it. If i should change anything in here please let me know! Also i am a little nervous about buying the mobo, power supply, and ram, are they good parts and brands? Will this SSD and the wireless networking card be good for gaming, and will it play max settings for online mmo games lik guild wars and wow?

do ram speeds matter much in gaming? like 1600mhz and a 2133mhz wouldnt be much difference in speed right?

Could someone please pick me out a good psu for this build? i would appreciate it alot <3
 
I made some adjustments for cost on your build to get you that gtx 770 as far as what i trimmed down will not impact the performance of other parts in any way and got a good quality PSU also if you have microcenter nearby instore pickup for the 4690k i believe price is 199.99 and like $40 off when you buy with motherboard so you could potentally get gtx 780 with a few more adjustments if you go for instore. http://www.microcenter.com/site/brands/intel-processor-bundles.aspx

This is a good build aside from the fact that the 770 is overpriced. If you dont have a preference for nvidia, I would suggest going to an r9 290 or r9 280x.

If you want gaming
Try to buy better graphic card
Things like ssd won't improve gaming performance
So try for get best gpu and lower other components until those things bottleneck your gpu
If i were you i will go for Gtx 970+ card with saving money from other components
