I'm doing my first build ever and here's what I have decided to buy:
CPU: i5 4670K
CPU cooler: Be Quiet! Shadow Rock Pro SR1 Tower
Motherboard: ASRock Z87 Extreme3
RAM: 2x4GB Corsair Vengeance LP DDR3-1600
Storage 1: Samsung 840 EVO 120GB SSD
Storage 2: Seagate ST1000DM003 1TB HDD
GPU: 2GB Gigabyte GTX 760 Windforce 3x OC Rev. 2
Case: Bitfenix Ghost
PSU: Be Quiet! 600W Straight Power E-9 non-modular 80+ Gold
DVD drive: Asus DRW-24F1ST DVD-RW SATA 1,5 Gb
The most help I need is with the PSU - is 600W too much? Is modular better than non-modular? Cooling is also a concern - should I get more fans for the case? I'm also open for recommendations regarding other parts. The usage is going to be mostly gaming. I'm not overclocking.
I'm in Finland and I will be ordering from [URL="http://www.mindfactory.de"]mindfactory.de[/URL] in Germany. I'm buying the case and the OS (win 7) from a local dealer. Sorry for not posting a pcpartpicker link, some of these parts were not available in there.
I have bad experiences with ASRock, some people are recommending MSI Z87-G45 gaming instead.
Also, would recommend Corsair or Seasonic for PSU

I agree, I had a terrible expereince with ASROCK. Had to replace the motherboard once. Terrible. I' using a GIGABYTE H61M-S2PV, and I like it.
