I've never built a PC before but I've saved up some money and have a list of parts I'm thinking about using. Hoping that you can tell me if it is any good for what I want, which is mainly gaming.

My budget for parts (no monitor/keyboard...etc) is £650, so I'm not looking for high end, just want good fps and medium/high settings on games like Battlefield 4.

CPU: Intel Core i5-3470 3.2GHz Quad Core Processor (£137)

CPU cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing cooler (£24)

Motherboard: ASRock Z77 Extreme4 ATX LGA1155 (£90)

Memory: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2×4GB) DDR3-1600 (£61)

Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive (£47)

Video Card: MSI GeForce GTX 760 2GB (£200)

Case: Corsair 200R ATX Mid Tower Case (£50)

Power Supply: Corsair CX 430W 80 plus bronze certified ATX 12V. (£38)

TOTAL: £647

Anyone have any thoughts on this build? Will it be suitable for gaming or does anyone have a suggestion for different parts? I do need to keep it below £700 MAX.
 
Thanks for the help. Just to make sure, as I am very new to this, the parts you recommended will be able to run modern games with decent fps? You probably had what I asked for in mind, but I want to double check before I buy the parts :)
 
Thanks for the advice, probably gonna go with that intel build as I have never used overclocking. I'll start getting the parts tomorrow :)
