Hey guys, looking to build a new gaming pc (my first build) probably classed as 'entry level' by most, here's the spec I'm looking at ... Any advice would be appreciated!

Intel i5 4670k
Nvidia gtx 660ti (or better)
Mother board - need help with that one
8 or 16gb ram
1tb harddrive
600/650/watt power
Case - not too fussy

Looking to spend in the region of 5-700
Cheers in advance!

What is the make and model of the PSU?

The cooler probably wont, due to the mount brackets.
 
Sound like it could be absolutely fine then. In that case you can save your save £60, or you could get a AMD HD 7950 instead of the 7850, which will be slightly more future proof. That wattage will be fine (your existing one) for a 7850 and a 7950, so you can get a pretty good rig for that. The mobo i've specced is a good board for oc'ing so you could be onto something! I'll sub to this just incase you have any other questions.
 
Sweet, nice one guys!! Could I mix and match between the two specs? (Take some of the cheaper stuff etc?) might look into getting a diff case too, so when I find one will ask you guys if its compatible!
Once again thanks!

Should be fine, may want to ask again once you have decided. Avoid new zalman cases, and other brands if they look cheap. Bitfenix, corsair, coolermaster etc are good brands to look out for.
