I would love to have your opinion and (or) stuff I should change, things I'm overlooking, compatibility... etc.

How high are you planning to OC?

 

[Rpmonteiro]

Never Oc'ed in my life (never had the computer to do it), but I don't think I'll be Oc'ing very high as this machine should be enough to handle everything without OC. Don't you think?javascript: validform(this);

But to answer to your question, let's say I'll slightly/moderately intend to overclock it.

well youll be able to get a good OC and keep good temps on a hyper 212 evo which is pretty cheap. Also, you made a good choice on the 670 but I would recommend evga. They have amazing customer support and if you don't want to upgrade for a while they just released a 4gbvram version of the 670 which is well worth it

For a mobo I would recommend a ASUS P8Z77-V LK LGA 1155 Intel Z77 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131837 and I would up that psu to 650w.

that's a nice suggestion, but I can't seem to find it on sale in any Swiss store... I guess I'll have to do with a simple 670 eh eh should be enough for every game..?!

Of course it will, Right now the 4gb and 2gb will make absolutely no difference. The 670 will play any game no problem

 

[Rpmonteiro]

Sweet! What's the difference between the mobo you suggested and the other that I've chosen?

Thanks!

actually the pro4-m will be fine and is only $105 on newegg. So I would get that instead. Do you plan to ever sli though?

Why is that GTX 670 so expensive? 459$(according to you). You could get a GTX 780 for that price! And i would go with a FX-8350 since its cheaper and better than that cpu. Also no need for that cpu just buy a cheaper one and it should still oc pretty nice. I would personally go with FX-8350 and M5A99 mobo. You save money and better overclocking.
