Spend more money for a better GPU. All your other components are pretty decent. For a gaming PC, the most critical part is the GPU and that is the one area where you're lacking significantly

providing the mobo supports triple channel memory, you don't state the brands of storage capacity, liquid cooler? poor psu. the 650 gpu will bottleneck that awesome cpu. and games only acces 5-6 gb of ram, no need for 12gb unless you use 3d autocad

Whoa - not balanced at all...

If you don't get a -K CPU you don't need Z77 so either step up the CPU or drop to a 3470 and H77 mobo.

Mobo is utter and complete overkill regardless of which GPU and CPU you get unless you are going 3- or 4-way SLI with high end cards. If you get a 3570K and Z77, go with an ASRock Extreme4 or ASUS Z77 -LK mobo (or something in a similar price range).

You don't put tri-channel RAM in a dual-channel system, do either need 2x 4GB or 2x 8GB sticks.

What are you going to use a Blu-Ray burner for on a gaming PC? Can save some by getting a plain old DVD drive.

Would get a different PSU - Corsair, Seasonic, PC Power & Cooling, XFX. 750W is enough for SLI/CF. If you want a single GPU, drop to 500W or so.

That liquid cooler is for an LGA2011 (X79) mobo. Don't know if it will fit LGA1155 (Z77/H77).

GPU is very, very weak. With the money saved from a different motherboard, get a GTX 670 or Radeon 7970 GPU to properly drive that nice monitor.

If you have more money to spare after that, get a larger SSD since there is no room for more than a couple of small games after installing the OS. Do NOT fill up the SSD - leave some room.
