So pc parts are more expensive here in Australia which kinda sucks
Any with the new Haswell series out im not sure what to buy now.
So the three main components i need help with is the motherboard, cpu and graphics card.
So firstly there is the cpu we got the intel i5-3570k vs i5-4670k
Prices here are: 3570=$256 while the 4670=$274
Ive seen a video dating back to December last year where the 4760k being far superior for gaming so i mean $20 isnt alot so why not.
The motherboard compatibility i was looking at the MSI gaming series the MSI Z77A-G45 for the 3570k is $159 while the MSI Z87-G45 for the 4670k is $199. The reason for the MSI is their military grade build quality and onboard sound with some other features and ive read some great reviews. While the bios seems to have alot features for overclocking so yes i want to overclock. I know the the ASRock Extreme is another motherboard which could be used but i like the MSI.
So just upgrading the CPU now will cost around $58 is this worth it?
Now lastly there is the Graphics card, i wanted to stick with the MSI for their build quality so there was two options i was looking at.
The MSI GeForce 660 Ti Power Edition which right now cost $319 which seems to be a great price however i wanted it to be "future proof" so i can spend extra which is then where the second option comes from, again from MSI the MSI GeForce GTX 770 Gaming gpu which cost $499.
Now $180 extra seems a bit much but i know there are alot of graphics card in this price range i just want to know the best which can play a wide range of games in this price range. Now ill be gaming only on one screen while the other will have minor applications so dual screens will be used.
Ok so while im here i may as well mention the other parts
G-Skill 8GB (x2 4GB) Ripjaws -$65
Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB -$94
Cool Master GX 750W PSU -$105
Cool Master Storm Scout II Black -$119
Antec KUHLER H2O 620 CPU Cooler -$79
And just 3 fans for the case for cooler -$51
Yes prices are obserd heard in australia
What are some alternatives so i could also fit a $100 or so SSD into a $1500 budget?

Consider getting a cheaper case, cheaper CPU cooler ( Cooler Master Hyper 212 would do the job well ).
