Hey guys,
Im thinking of building a gaming Pc with the following components, and id like youre opinion

Motherboard MSI Z87-G45 Gaming
Graphic Card Gtx 770 Sli 2-way
CPU Intel Core i7-3770K @ 3.50GHz
Memoria 2x4GB Corsair
Hard Drives Samsung SSD 250GB, Western Digital 1 TB 7200rpm.
I think this is the best bang for your buck i can possibly go for, based on all sort of benchmarks around the internet,
How big of a power supply will i need? is 600W ok? Im not thinking of OCing the system.
Finaly, how do i decide how to buy a good monitor? Im thinking of going for a 24, cause i think a 27 will be to big and give me headaches xD
Thanks for the repply

That cpu is not compatible with the motherboard you chose.

I should go for 750 watts or higher if you have sli.

I guess you're a hardcore gamer... So an 144Hz would suit you.

1. That CPU is not compatible with the Mobo.
2. GTX770 SLI from the start is a bad choice compared to 1 GTX780 (unless you need 8 monitors but i doubt that since you are talking about 1 monitor).
Go either 1 GTX770 or 1 GTX780. SLI requires more power while it doesnt increase your performance that much. It also creates more heat you would need to dissipate.

Do you have a price range?

I have put one together for you optimized for gaming:
