Will this build do well?

Hey.



This is my first time having building a computer and I want some of your guys' advice on it. :D  Firstly, I'm not looking for suggestions on replacing any components right now; I believe I'm sorted on that part. I just want to get a confirmation that everything will work together and that it'll be a good gaming pc, and run most games maxed.



Case: Cooler Master K350
Processor: i5 3570 Ivy Bridge 3.4 GHZ
RAM: STRONTIUM 8GB 1600MHz DDR3
Motherboard: Asus P8B75-M Intel B75 mATX Ivy Bridge Socket 1155 4x DDR3
Graphics Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 660 SC version 2GB
PSU: SeaSonic S12II 520 Bronze 520W ATX12V
HDD: Seagate 1TB Barracuda 7200.12 SATA3 HDD 64M CACHE 7200RPM NCQ



So, how does it look? Am I good to go? Is it a good gaming PC?

Yeah, nah, I don't have any plans on overclocking for a while soon, lol.




Ah, so my GPU is the problem? Really? I heard that the GTX 660 can fend for itself pretty nicely when it comes to gaming. Is it that bad to merit getting a better GPU at the expense of the CPU? Or is it a decently average card? Will I notice the difference?


Appreciate your fast responses.

The 660 gtx is a solid card for gaming, but almost at the same price the 7870 tahiti le(or 7930) is better, if you can spend a bit more on that card, it will be better, it has a good value in terms of performance per $, you can find the 7870 tahiti le in certain models :
Sapphire Radeon HD 7870 XT
PowerColor HD7870 PCS+ Myst Edition
Club 3D 2GB AMD HD7870 Joker Card
VTX3D HD 7870 Black Edition

Ah, okay. That's all I wanted to hear. So it's a good card for gaming? Because the Tahiti Le isn't in the website that I'm choosing from, and I'm pretty much buying all of my components from that one website; any other website isn't an option. Unfortunately, their GPU isn't the widest of all. GTX 660 is the only affordable and convenient card I could get.


It's not like I'm a hardcore l33t as gamer that demands absolute perfection or anything. As long as the game runs smoothly on high or even ultra, I'm a happy man.


Alright, how about my other build? Good to go? Everything fits? Works well together?

Did you checked all the models ?
If it really doesn't have it, then yes, the 660 gtx is a good choice, all fits perfectly, you have a quality psu there with the amps/juice required.




That's all I wanted to hear. Thank you for your help!
