Hey guys,
I am building a gaming pc and i would like some suggestions from you.
So here is the build it self:
CPU: Intel Core i5-4670
GPU: GIGABYTE GV-N760OC-2GD
MOBO: could some one suggest one (im not going to overclock my cpu so i dont rly know what mobo i should choose)
PSU: any 550w will do?
RAM: Kingston HyperX 8GB (2 x 4GB) 1600Mhz DDR3
HDD: WD Black 1TB
SDD: SAMSUNG 840 120gb

And most important Monitor Benq xl2411z (will i be able to reach 144hz with this GPU?)
I am mostly playing cs go and i want stable 250+ fps with a 144hz refresh rate at 1024x768 4:3 ratio

will this be enough? and some times i play bf4 and stuff like that so a weaker pc wouldent work i think

Why such a low resolution? That is a 144hz monitor, so you will be fine there. I would avoid Gigabyte for GPU. what is your budget for this?

1024x768 gives an advantage in comp csgo modules are stretched and a bit larger there for easier to aim :) 
ye i know thats a 144hz monitor, i just have an acer aspire v3 with a 760m gtx gpu but i cant run it at that refresh frequency because i dont have the port on my laptop that supports that refresh rate HDMI and VGA is all i got, so i wanted a rig for my home to game when im not at sea ^^

i dont have a budged, i will pay the price needed but i dont need a super new pc for next gen games, i mostly play cs go, dayz, rust stuff like that :)

I was thinking something like this, since you also play BF4. I included an SSD into this, since you are playing competitively. SSD will help with load times.

GTX 970 is faster than a GTX 770.
You can get the 128gb Crucial MX 100, for less, and it is still a very nice drive.
PSU is fine.
Ram is ok, if you can get it for less
WD black is on the expensive side. If you want to stick with WD, might want to go with a WD Blue
Motherboard is a decent choice too, if you can get a better deal on it. It just isn't as well featured as the one I listed.
