What do you think?

Good day!
I want to build a new PC and I would like to have some opinions.
I will use:

1) Asus P8B75-V Motherboard;
2) Intel Core I5 3470 3.2GHZ;
3) Gigabyte GTX 660 (Non TI) OC 2gb
4) 8GB DDR3 Ram from Kingston or Corsair 1600/1866MHZ;
5) PSU Seasonic S12II 620W

I have a F3 320GB HDD from Samsung and due to my budget i can not afford a HDD or a SSD at this moment.
I use a 22'' monitor at 1080P.
At this moment I'm using a dual core(AMD Athlon II 250) at 3ghz and 1gb 9600gt with 4gb of ram.
My question is: Do you think I will see a major performance increase in games and how much will it last? (I would like to play future games like Watch Dogs, Battlefield 4 or GTA V, if it will ever be released on PC, at High settings or at least medium settings). I hope it will be enough for 3-4 years.
I must mention that I will mostly use the PC for gaming.

It looks nice to me.

no use of 1866mhz ram, go with 1600mhz ram for i5

One more question. Do you think a AMD 8320 would be better than the I5 or more future proof? From what I've read the core I5 is better for gaming and I would like to know if 8320 is better than 3470 at gaming. Thanks!

 

[butremor]

not really, if it was me, i'd stay with i5

 

[realchaos]

Games are starting to use more cores. It won't be a surprise if all the main-stream games requires more than four cores soon. Crysis 3 already shows that the 8350 performs better than the i5 due to its 8cores, but the i5 should still definitely be good for the next two/three years.

One more question
Do you think a stock 7870 is better than a OC Gtx 660? I can not afford a 660 ti but I hope that this card will be good for future games(GTA V especially) and I realy like nVidia tech like Physics, TXAA, and other but I want to know if 7870 is much better than 660. Thanks!
And also do you think I should wait for Gtx 700 series and Haswell? From what I've read the performance will not increase too much...

I see that your build is around 600$. With that amount of money I would go to this...

Value 80+ Bronze PSU, made by Enermax!

LEPA N Series N500-SA 500W ATX12V Power Supply

6 Core CPU that will help with multitasking and modern games that utilize CPU cores!

AMD FX-6300 FX-Series Six-Core Processor Edition, Black AM3 FD6300WMHKBOX

ASRock 970 EXTREME3 AMD 970 & SB950 ATX DDR3 800 AMD - AM3+ Motherboard

Patriot Memory Viper 3 Series Venom Red DDR3 8GB 1866MHz (PC3 15000) Memory Kit PV38G186C9KRD

Sapphire Radeon HD 7870 XT with Boost 2GB DDR5 HDMI / DVI-I / Dual Mini DP PCI-Express Graphics Card 11199-20-20G

Samsung 840 Series 2.5 inch 120GB SATA III internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-7TD120BW

And you have a great GPU which is only ~3% less powerful than a 660ti/7950, a good motherboard and CPU plus SSD!

Thank you for your opinion. This is a really nice build you showed me here and I will sure take it into consideration. Thanks again!
