I'm looking at building my first computer. I have done some research and compared other completed builds, mix and matching things from them. I'm not sure if it is compatible/some parts are worth it for the money ext. My price range is about 1200-1400. Any help is appreciated!

This is the build I made:
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Vcss

Intel Core i5-3570K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler
MSI Z77A-GD55 ATX LGA1155 Motherboard
Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Samsung 840 Series 250GB 2.5" Solid State Disk
EVGA GeForce GTX 670 2GB Video Card
Cooler Master HAF X ATX Full Tower Case - not sure about this case, if there is a cheaper one that is just as good or something
Corsair Builder 750W 80 PLUS Bronze Certified ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply
Asus DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD/CD Writer

Already have sound/mouse/monitor/keyboard from my old computer
Thanks in advance!

Hi xcreamz!

That's a good build!

I would just recommend lowering down your power supply, unless you plan on doing an SLIx2 build in the near future. Your system will run optimally on a 500~550w psu. Corsair is a good brand, other great brands are SeaSonic, Antex and XFX.

Check out the Outstanding Tier, and take a look at the recommended cases from the other tiers too.

Good luck!
