I can wait one more week and gain additional funds to buy better parts, so that's what I decided to do. Is this a good looking solid build for 1920x1080 gaming on max settings? (even next-gen games: Watch Dogs, Battlefield 4, etc) Thanks!

The 620W M12II is a rip-off at that price, but that's a US price and you live in the Netherlands so I don't know what you can get there. What stores could you order from? I can look at the stores you show me to find the 620W M12II and then base my shopping around the price it's going for.

Thanks for your help, again!
You're welcome!
I'm not finding anything better for the same price or less. That's alright though because the only thing I don't particularly like about the 620W M12II these days is its number of PCI-E connectors: 1 x 6-pin and 1 x 6+2-pin. I mean, that shows how old it is and it would also mean that if you went with two video cards, then you'd have to use Molex to PCI-E adapters.
Now, you could spend a little bit less and get pretty much the same PSU but rated for 520W continuous instead of 620W continuous: Seasonic M12II 520W - Prijzen - Tweakers
Other than that, I don't know. I mean, there are a couple of PSUs that are better, but it could cost € 86,70 or even more.
That's something I don't know yet. I'm only asking because the 620W M12II has enough power, but you'd need to use Molex to PCI-E adapters because two 770s would require 2 x 6-pin and 2 x 8-pin (or 2 x 6+2-pin) PCI-E connectors. So a PSU with 4 x 6+2-pin PCI-E connectors would be a good choice, and there are several quality-made 650W PSUs that have this connectivity. So if you're going to stay with one video card, then there's no worry.
