The Haswell is out, but I don't see why I'd need it..
So considering that we're working with an ivy i5 3550
The components I've picked up are:
Cabinet: Corsair Carbide 400R
Graphic Card: Asus HD7790-DC2OC-1GD5 ATI PCI Express
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H77M-D3H
PSU: VS550 Corsair
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2x4) RAM 1600
HD: Seagate Barracuda 1 TB

Not looking to Overclock, but apart from that, is something missing? Or something which could/ should be replaced?

If your playing high end games like fc3, get a better graphics card like the 7870 and also if your are going with ivy bridge keep in mind that you will not be able to upgrade your cpu in the future

Well, the change in socket is an issue, but then it's likely to change again by the time I'd wanna look for an upgrade. So the Mobo and proc would have to be replaced.. For the graphics, though, not that much. My gaming is limited to the likes of SC2.
It's also gonna be used for the engg stuff I get home.
