Hi there i was wondering if this was a good build and if not what should i change?

Motherbord: Gigabyte Z77X-UD3H-1155

GPU: EVGA GTX 660 SC
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 8GB@1600
CPU Cooler:CM Hyper 212 EVO
PSU:Corsair TX-650v2 ATX Power Supply

I was thinking of soing some overclocking to the CPU mabye to 4.2GHz 1.1V if that's not right please correct me.

This Build is mainly going to be for gaming (BF3) and other (School)

If you recomend a SSD i have a bugget of 1900 USD but can go over by 100 if i need to

Thanks in advance

Then get the 670 gtx in the link :

The priority should be the gfx card, and the antec is a good case, also recommend going with an ips monitor(it's almost the same size, better quality).
A ssd with 128 GB should be enough for you, also it's better a 1TB 7200rpm just in case, and a good psu.

what does that mean? i recommend gskill? the fsp is gold and cheaper. seasonic isnt the end all be all. there are other good psu's beside seasonic. i realize people in forums don't understand and they all just mindlessly say has to be seasonic. you will never be able to tell a difference between the m4 and the intel. the m4 is actually one of the slowest ssd's. on a backup 1TB drive 5400 is fine sure if you want 7200 but your os is on the ssd.

First, i didn't check for the price, but for compatibility for ram, and g. skill is 100% sure, also i'd take the g. skill at any day, since the components prices and availability are different, i saw the g. skill and recommended that one, the same for the psu, they lack on the list, and the seasonic is the best one price/value, it has more juice and quality.
You can be wise, and check every part in nz, i just don't care, i put what it was available in there(and i did it before you), that to me is the best.
And you're wrong, i recommended in here several rams(samsung, patriot, crucial, g. skill), cards(amd, nvidia), psus(xfx, fsp also, seasonic, pc power&cooling,etc), several ssds(samsung 830/840 pro, m4, sandisk extreme,etc.)
I'm not attached to a single brand.
