So i used reddit's buildapc sub as a springboard and used this utility to make a parts list and since the place seems to be quite slow, i would like to ask for your opinions as well.
I'm looking to build a competent gaming pc, one that runs most games at a solid 60 at high to max setting, so would this be any good?

Looks good to me. :)
If you ever plan on upgrading in the future, though, you might want a slightly better power supply. This one will work for this system, but if you get a higher end graphics card in the future, you'll want something with a bit more wattage (I also personally would go for something Gold rather than Bronze certified, but it probably isn't going to make a significant difference.) The cost wouldn't be much higher, and it would save you some trouble in the future.
Would this be a good one to take instead? Especially if i want to run a second monitor (i forgot to say that i am most definitely getting a second monitor as well as an external hard drive for stuff etc.), not necessarily for game use (maybe, especially if i have/want to get a second GPU) but just having stuff on there when i do gaming or just other stuff in general, like i often wander off to reddit or something during the more boring parts of videos...
Just about any graphics card that has more than one display port will work just fine for multiple monitors. I have a GTX 660 ti and hook up three just fine. I don't game across all three, but I'll watch movies on one, do some programming on another, and browse the web on the last. A GTX 760, being the superior model should be able to handle two just fine.
