After about 3 or so years of wanting to build a nice gaming desktop, I am finally taking the plunge.
I do plan on eventually over clocking and using crossfire.
I want the build to be around 800$-900$, and use it for gaming on bf3 and skyrim. I already have the case and know that it doesn't have a front panel for USB 3.0 ports. However I already have the case and not too worried about it.
If you have a suggestions, fixes, and or any other advice please let me know.

CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus 76.8 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler
Motherboard: Asus P8Z77-V LK ATX LGA1155 Motherboard
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 8 GB (2X4 GB) PC3-12800 1600mHz
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Video Card: Asus Radeon HD 7850 2GB Video Card
Case: NZXT Guardian 921 RB ATX Mid Tower Case
Power Supply: OCZ ZT 650W 80 PLUS Bronze Certified ATX12V Power Supply

Thank you for taking the time to read. I really appreciate the willingness to help.
I also updated my memory, power supply, and cpu cooler . thank you for the help and suggestions:).

good build, but i wld get a better cooler (since ur interested in OCing...) and at least 1600 RAM.

The other thing to consider it that intel's current line are coming to an end of their production life... Its just rumors at this point but if this PC is going to b ur "pride and joy," i might consider holding off for a while yet...
The same cld be said about the 7xxx series...

Just a thought though... nothing wrong with ur current setup ^-^

That is a good thought. I wonder though which one would you get more bang for you buck though? I did update my ram to 1600, thank you for the suggestion.

Thank you for the suggestion, I did update to 1600mhz memory. Though I think I will stay with Corsair due to them having better pricing.
