Guys, I'm building my new gaming PC, so I would like to ask you for some help :)
The parts are:

CPU: Intel® Core™ i5-4670K

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 (I already have this)

RAM: 8 GB

Motherboard: ASRock Z77 Extreme4

SSD: Sandisk Ultra Plus 64GB

HDD: Hitachi Deskstar 750GB

So what do you think?
Will I be able to play the latest games on bigger resolutions?

Thanks

Posting here to make sure you check my comment below. This build will not function with that CPU/mobo combination.

you did a bad choice buying first the GTX 650 before you bought the entire PC, when buying a gaming PC is better buy all at once.

Not with that 650. Invest in at least a 760 like I did.

Why the overlockable CPU with a motherboard that does not support overclocking?

Save 30 $ on the CPU or get a Z87, Z97 board.

Also, I suggest a 120 GB SSD, 64 GB is very very quickly filled.

There is this "SanDisk SSD 128GB SATA3" SSD with 128Gb cost same as a lot of 60-64Gb ones, it's just the standart one not ultra or other versions, or "Kingston SSDNow V300 120GB " a little more but for same price as most 60-64Gb

Some not-Z motherboards support overclocking, just have to be careful.

The Z77 chipset does "support overclocking" (assuming you mean via multiplier), but it's not compatible with his 4670K CPU since the Z77 board is socket 1155 and the 4670K is socket 1150.

get 1TB HDD, at least 128 GB SSD and change card to at least GeForce GTX 680.

Why the hell he needs gtx 680? It's overpriced and only youtubers or twitch streamers use it. 760 and above is the way to go.

Upgrade that GPU mate. Or at least get a second one.

Also, how much VRAM is on it? Going forward you'll probably need 3GB.

VERY IMPORTANT!

Your CPU and motherboard are not compatible. The i5-4670 is a socket LGA1150 CPU and any Z77 motherboard is going to be a socket LGA1155 board. Either get a 2xxx or 3xxx series CPU to match the motherboard's socket or change the motherboard to a 8 or 9 series chipset board.

^this
You may want the ASRock Z87 Extreme4 or ASRock Z87M Extreme4.
And a good cooler for your CPU would be "Thermalright HR-02 Macho Rev. A" but make sure you have enough space in your tower :D.

Additional critique:
Is the list of parts you posted the most you can spend? If so, and this computer is being built with gaming the primary concern, then here are a couple of things to do, because you will need a much better GPU to play at 1920x1080:
1 - Return the GTX650 for a refund or store credit and use the next few suggestions (in order by priority) to get more $ to spend on a better GPU
2 - Forget the SSD for now. They are wonderful, I know. I'm on my 7th personally now. However, the $40-50 you're likely spending on that SSD in your list will be much better spend on a better GPU
3 - Get a non-K i5 CPU and an H87/H97 chipset motherboard. That will save you about $80-100 ($40-50 on both the CPU and the motherboard) that you can spend on a better GPU as well while still leaving you with a more than adequate CPU/mobo to feed your GPU while running your games.

Assuming you paid about $110 for the GTX650 (and can return it for a full refund), if you do #2 and 3, you'll then have somewhere around $200-250 and can get a MUCH more capable GPU (R9 270X, R9 280, GTX 670, or GTX 760)

I can spend like 200$ more the most, so I'll probably buy a new GPU, another motherboard and get a SSD later, thanks :)

HDD: go with Seagate or Western Digital instead of Hitachi

SSD: Samsung or Kingston instead of Sandisk

because reasons I don't know.
