First Build Gaming PC

    I'm looking to build a gaming PC able to run BF3 and similar games on high settings on 1920x1080 resolution. I'm wondering if i would want to go for 4th generation CPU and a MOBO with mare memory slots for the future or would this be wasting my money?

    I would like to get a 120gb SSD for OS and demanding games but I'm not sure if I'm able to copy my Windows 7 from my old hard drive to the new SSD any ideas on this?

    I have a build in mind but its over budget without a monitor and more than likely is over powered for what I'm going to be using it for.

    MOBO:Gigabyte Z87-D3HP
    CPU:Intel i5 4430 S1150
    Memory: Kingston 8GB 1600MHz DDR3
    GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 660 SC
    Hard Drive: Samsung 120GB 840 series
    Case: Corsair Carbide Series 300R Gaming Case
    PSU: Corsair 600 Watt Builder Series CX 600 Modular Power Supply
    Cooling: CoolerMaster Hyper 212 Evo - 4 Heatpipe, Tower CPU Cooler

    Much changes anyone would make? Open to suggestions..

    1. What is your budget? [€800]

    2. What will be the main purpose of the computer?
    Gaming mainly with internet running behind

    3. Do you need a copy of Windows? not sure i have a hard drive from my old computer with windows 7 on it can i use this in the new build?

    4. Can you use any parts from an old computer? Hard drive and optical drive as far as i know

    5. Do you need a monitor? Yes

    5a. If yes, what size do you need. 22' maybe, resolution 1920x1080

    6. Do you need any of these peripherals? Keyboard/Mouse

    7. Are you willing to try overclocking? No

    8. How can you pay? Bank Transfer/Laser

    9. When are you purchasing? [In the next week]

    10. If you need help building it, where are you based? Want to try build it myself i'll find a forum to help if i run into trouble
