Cooler Master HAF 912 Adv. Midi Tower
Asus Z87-A
Intel Core i7 4770K Quad Core
Corsair Vengeance Pro DDR3 1600MHz 8GB
Corsair 120mm Hydro Series H80i
Samsung SSD 840 EVO 120GB OEM
Western Digital 1TB internal Hard Drive
ASUS DVD Writer, DRW-24B5ST -
EVGA GeForce GTX 780 3GB Classified CUDA

If there is any advice or tips please let me know, any feed back is appreciated! Thanks in advance.

No, you will not notice any increase in performance regarding the 4770k, check this out for more details http://www.ocaholic.ch/modules/smartsection/item.php?itemid=1061 . By the way, i think this psu is overkill for these specs( if you consider getting the 4670k), unless you are planning to sli in the future and dont want to spend money on new psu.

OK thanks a lot for the quick response. So there is no huge substantial difference in terms of gaming between the two processors?

Thanks for the link, it was helpful. I do not intended on having SLI in the future, which PSU do you recommend? someone had told me that the TX series was better than the CX.

There's not much difference between the i7 4770K and the i5 4670K with respect to gaming. They'll both perform excellently, and they're both unlocked processors so you can squeeze more juice out of them if you need it.

All in all, it looks like you've got the right idea in terms of the not-so-easily-replaceable hardware (MB, CPU). The H80i will do an excellent job of cooling the Haswell (which runs hot anyway), up to about a ~4.5GHz overclock. The H80i is a thick cooler since it has twice the fans, and twice the radiator as it's younger brother (H60), so make sure you can mount it safely in the case without interfering with anything inside.
