No all the screws and stuff like that come with the case, as for the video card fitting in that case you have 290mm of clearance for video cards and the video card you picked is 268mm long, so you will be fine.

Everything will work fine together :)
Only thing I would change is get a power supply from either Antec, Corsair, Seasonic or XFX. They make the most reliable power supplies but 700 Watts will be just fine.

mat take a look on parts picker. you may be able to get the newer haswell and mb for less money then the older i5. the brass screws are called motherboard standoffs the case vendor will have a set of 8 or nine in the bag of parts that come with the case. on the case is a tray for the mb. all you do is line up the mb on the tray and screw in the nine standoffs to line up with the nine holes on the mb. before you screw in the mb you have to push in the metal io shield on the case. you have to push with some force to line the mb up to the screws when you line the screws up put the four corners in first but not all the way. then line the mb up to the back of the case. to close to the back and your pci video card wont slide in.

There is not a big difference performance wise between the 3570k and the 4670k. The 3570k does overclock better and run cooler, but the 4670k has better power management, and the z87 chipset offers some advantage. The 3570k is still a very potent gaming cpu. For overclocking I would get a Noctua NH-D14 or Phanteks PH-TC14PE, but you will need lower profile ram as the heatsinks on the vengeance is too tall. You could also get the Corsair H110i and use the vengeance, but personally I'm not a fan of all in one water coolers. The 4670k is $5 more than the 3570k(in the states) and the MSI Z87-G45 is $10 cheaper than the Z77-g45. For a power supply I usually stick with Seasonic, XFX, and Corsair(silver, gold and platinum rated units).
