I'm mostly going to be playing games like Battlefield 4, Watch Dogs, Arma 3 etc etc. Is this a good build, and is it overclockable?

Yes it's good, and yes it's overclockable. My biggest critique is to switch to a Z97 motherboard and possible the 4690k, but I looked and I see that they're not really available to you yet. They may be worth waiting for if you're not in a hurry. Other than that, it's a pretty strong build.

Looks great! Yes, definitely overclockable.
However, what resolution will you be playing on? the 770 is perfect for all your games, but the 2GB versions will be more than enough for 1920x1080.

I'll be playing on 1680x1050, and I was wondering if I should get a 4gb or 2gb version, also should I go for the windforce or DirectCU II? And, CTurbo, My maximum price range is 950 euros. Thanks for the replies, though.

That was my biggest gripe with the build. The 4GB GTX 770.

Especially since you'll be playing at 1680x1050, 2GB of VRAM is more than enough. Might as well save yourself some money! Only your wallet will feel the difference between a 2 GB and 4 GB GPU.

Heh, I'm going to get the Asus GeForce GTX 770 2GB DirectCU II then, but what's the difference between that GPU and the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 770 2GB WINDFORCE GPU?

I also forgot to ask, will this build be able to play those games on atleast high-ultra on 35-60 FPS?

My few small tweaks to your build. Prefer G.Skill memory and the NZXT case. Also picked the Asus graphics card. Just has more reviews.

Ya, this build will be able to play on high-ultra at your resolution. Also, since you're under-budget now, you could consider getting a small solid state drive for your operating system.
