Hello.
Im planning to build a gaming pc in a few months and id like to get advice, because im completelly new to this stuff. So, id like to know if i should go with Intel i5 quad-core CPU or AMD 8-core CPU. And what about GPU? I was planning to buy Gigabyte Nvidia GeForce GTX 660, but i dont know if an AMD GPU at the same price as GTX 660 is worth buying... Also, what motherboard would you recommend? And i need some info on picking a suitable PSU for my needs... And what would you recommend as a cheap but good computer case?
So, i need your opinion on the stuff mentioned above and i am planning to build a pc that costs about 900 euros (monitors, keyboards and mouse are not included in the price)
I'd appreciate it if you post prices in euros, but dollars and pounds are also welcome
Also, im mostly planning to play LoL, Dota 2, maybe start playing WoW, and play some other games like BF3, Portal 2 and Devil May Cry: DMC.
Thanks for your time.

Well for your needs, you won't need it...With overlocking you increase your performance slightly, i dont suggest buying gpus which are preoverclocked because you can do it urself...
so you're saying that i should stick to the normal models?
and btw, are ASUS or GIGABYTE Nvidia Graphic cards better? And why?
Because someone told me the gigabyte ones are better, but they are cheaper than asus and this raises second thoughts...

Hi, either gigabyte or asus are good brands, the 670 windforce 3 is a good card, even at stock, good temperatures and performance, if you don't plan to overclock this is my final advice.

Yeah i know. I am planning to buy a HDD in the beginning, then i might buy a SSD. But when i install windows i have to install it on HDD(if i dont get a SSD in the beginning).... then after that will having a SSD speed anything up even if windows is installed in the HDD?

And also, another thing i've been meaning to ask you guys... I will be using Wi-Fi connection, since my room is 1 floor away from the room with the router.

Hi, the asrock h77 has some expansions slots, just not as many as some z77 with two pcie 3.0 16x slots, but you don't need them for a single card setup.
It has : - 1 x PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot (PCIE2: x16 mode)
- 1 x PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot (PCIE3: x4 mode)
- 1 x PCI Express 2.0 x1 slot
You might aswell pick up the h77 pro 4 mvp -> http://www.amazon.co.uk/ASRock-H77-MVP-Motherboard-Sock...
Still under the budget, and good luck

Hi, you'll have to downgrade the build for 800 euros(no ssd and a lower card, but the 660 ti is a good card, don't worry
) and buy the os with the rest of it.PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks

Thanks, even though i think that 500GB of storage will be more than enough for my needs...

Hmm. Thanks again. But now i have decided that im settling for a system that costs 850 euros. I'd like a good graphics card so that i can play the games mentioned in the first post and 500GB of HDD. Also, should i overclock? I dont know if i should. If yes, then i think i should also buy a CPU cooler(more expenses which i dont like...)? And i'd also like you to keep in mind that i'd like to keep that system for about 3 or more years...
