I'm an extreme noob and I want to make sure this will all work out... Please feel free to leave any suggestions. I'm looking to play new upcoming games with no problem.

CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor ($220.98 @ Newegg)
Motherboard: MSI Z77A-G45 ATX LGA1155 Motherboard ($123.98 @ Newegg)
Memory: Corsair XMS3 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($73.99 @ Newegg)
Storage: Western Digital WD Blue 1 TB Desktop Hard Drive (62.99 @ Amazon)
Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 770 2GB Video Card ($409.99 @ Newegg)
Case: Zalman Z5 Plus ATX Mid Tower Case ($45.99 @ Newegg)
Power Supply: SeaSonic S12II 620 Bronze 620W ($64.99 @ Newegg)
Total: $927.08

Please let me know what's wrong and what you think of this. Is it future proof? I need all the help I can get! Thank you so much!

Why not go with an amd 8320, and spend the saved money on a h100i? and replace the motherboard with an asustek EXT 3/4. And for your hard drive you may want to go for a 1tb hard drive, 320gb is very small. And a 600/700w PSU by corsair will be adequate.

You bought overclocking parts, so you dont need a cooler if you dont want to overclock, the cpu comes with its own "stock" cooler that is good enough to do the job at stock settings, but you can always add a $30 hyper 212 evo cooler when you decide to overclock.

you might as well get the 1tb wd blue as its only about $20 more to more than triple your space

Mmmm, I'd really prefer not... I don't want to take any risks.

Updated the list.

So, are you all sure that these components will work together? And how well do you think it can play both upcoming games and games like Far Cry 3 and Skyrim?
