You don't need the thermal paste. I agree on the ram, I would recommend Gskill, they have lower ram for good price good quality (IMO at least). Unless you are a true audiophile, there is really no need for a sound card.

And look at what a haswell i5 and mobo would cost, if its about the same, there is reason not to go with it, but i suspect it would cost more.
And if it is in your budget, upgrading to a gtx770 would be good.

Also, that is a lot of (expensive) fans. Is there any particular reason for that many?

good pick on mobo, heat sink, PSU and case!
I am a big fan of corsair cases. hopefully you will enjoy building in it!

@amd radeon: Thanks for the replies aha, but i thought i5-3570k had not much of a difference than i5-4670k? And if i purchased from amazon , would there be like 2 years warranty for the graphics card?(Sorry, didn't really know how to research about this).:O

@Cdburner5911: Thanks for the replies :D, was planning to get at least gtx 770 but cause i am not sure how amazon warranty n stuff works, just decided to get gtx 660 first. The reason why i chose to do this was because i read random reviews and articles from all sorts of sites, giving me ideas that its hard to get a refund/exchange and furthermore i am living in the SEA side. :/

Well check what the manufacturer warranty would be. I'm not sure about warranties in other countries, weather they are the same or different, but all cards should come with at least 1 year of manufacturer warranty. Like a random card I picked from EVGA on newegg had 3 year, and a random card from XFX had lifetime. So if you didnt have to buy 2 different cards, that would save money, which is always good!
Also, I may be wrong, but amazon should have a 30-ish day return policy for DOA cards, but most/any warranty related returns go directly to the manufacturer.

And as far as haswell vs. ivy bridge, they are pretty similar, but haswell is slightly faster, so if you could find a cpu/motherboard combo that was the same price, I don't think there would be a reason to no go with it. That being said, there is nothing wrong with ivy bridge.
