Just want to know if will run games pretty well.
[B]Case:[/B] Thermaltake Commander Mid-Tower Gaming Case (White)
[B]CPU:[/B] Intel® Core™ i5-3470 3.20 GHz 6MB
[B]CPU Cooler:[/B] CoolerMaster Hyper 212 Evo Gaming Cooling Fan
[B]GPU:[/B] NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 1GB 16X PCIe 3.0 Video Card
[B]PSU:[/B] 430 Watts - Corsair CX430 V2 80 Plus Certified Power Supply
[B]HDD:[/B] 1TB SATA-III 6.0Gb/s 32MB Cache 7200RPM HDD
[B]SDD:[/B] 64GB SanDisk SATA III 6.0Gb/s SSD
[B]RAM:[/B] 16GB (8GBx2) DDR3/1333MHz Dual Channel Memory Corsair

[B]Optical Drive:[/B] 24X Double Layer Dual Format DVD+-R/+-RW + CD-R/RW Drive

Looks good, some pointers:
[B]CPU:[/B] Get the i5-357[B]0K[/B] cpu , else the z77 mobo's expensive overclocking features and the hyper 212 cooler will be useless.
[B]GPU:[/B] The 650 isnt really all that great, maybe you can squeeze in a 7850?
[B]PSU: [/B] Gooid choice, it cannot handle the crossfire/SLI that is supported by your mobo though.
[B]SSD:[/B] Leave this out to pay for your better CPU and GPU, If you can afford it get an Intell/Samsung/Crucial.
[B]RAM:[/B]8GB is enough
[B]OS:[/B] Windows 8 is cheaper and a little bit better.

Would the gpu switched to [I]NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Ti 2GB 16X[/I] be any good

It's slightly better than the 7850, so yes if it fits the budget.

yes 2.gb gpu is every good

The ammount of ram a gpu has doesnt really matter compared to the model. Hell you can buy a 2gb gpu for 30$.

Also OP you might wanna look at the 7870 instead of the 660 ti.
They are the same in performance but the 7870 is around 50-70$ cheaper.

For that price you can build a system around a i5 3570k + GTX 670
