Hi everyone,

I'm building a new computer and, since it's been years from the last one I assembled, I'm out of date on some stuff and I'd like to hear your opinion on what I'm planning to buy.

So this pc would be mainly for work and a little gaming. Nothing special, just the latest game at low/medium settings.
Also since i'm spending a lot of time in front of it I want a good monitor (maybe two) but we'll talk about this later.

I live in europe so my prices will be in euro.
So i was thinking about something like this:

  1. Intel Core i5-4670K Haswell LGA1150 198 €.
  2. AsRock Z87 Pro4 Socket 1150 85 €.
  3. Corsair Vengeance CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9 1600MHz 8GB (2x4GB) CL9 72 €
  4. VGA Asus nVidia GeForce GTX660 158 €
  5. Corsair CX600M 600W 68 €
(I just found out about this thing. here's a link http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/2Y4Yf)

So it would be 581 €. That's pretty much my budget, I don't wanna go over it by much.

I don't need a new HDD.
This should be everything. Now I'd like to hear someone's opinion if there's something that can be upgraded without going over budget, if there's something that doesn't fit well or stuff like that.

I live in Italy.
About the r9 270, I checked and it's about the same price of the nvidia.
But I've never had am amd before, and I'd rather stick to nvidia unless it's significantly superior.

I was also wondering if I need a 600W power supply or if a 450 or 500 will suffice.

What about the motherboard?

It's the piece I know the less, and I don't know if the one I picked it's good or there's something better.
