CPU: Intel Core I7 4770 - probably better saving some money and getting a core i5. The i7 has little to no benefit for gaming.

Mobo: Asus H87I-PLUS or Asrock B85M itx - The 2 motherboard chipsets, here is an explanation of the differences. You are probably fine with the B85M. I have the Asrock B75m-ITX and it's a great little board.

RAM: Gskill RipjawsX 2x4GB DDr3 1600mhz - looks decent

Chasis: Silverstone SG07BW w/ 600W PSU - I have the SG05 and love it. I've not used an SG07 personally but I believe it's very similar, so should be a very, very good case.

GPU: Leadtek GTX 670 2 GB DDR5 - last years model, swap this for a GTX 770.

WD: WD 1TB Caviar Blue HDD - the money you save on the i5 processor, buy yourself an SSD as well. SSD for Windows, harddrive for storage.
