I am a beginner and still in the process of creating a desktop. so, this is the specs for my desktop ..

Gigabyte H77M-D3H
i5-3570K
HyperX 1600Mhz 16G
GTX650 ti DirectCU II with Boost
3TB HDD

is this will be perfect? or will not work and will need some customization?

for the spec like this,how much is the watt needed for the power supply?

The H77 motherboard will work, but you want to get a Z77 motherboard to go with that i5 for overclocking capability.
8GB of RAM is enough, 1600mhz HyperX is fine too.
I would get no less than a 500-550w power supply. 80+ bronze efficiency rating at least.
What about the case?

Also, don't forget a good cpu cooler of you're going to overclock. If you're not going to overclock, you could get a cheaper i5(a non-K model) and keep that H77 motherboard.

It does work but if you wanna overclock you will need atleast a Z77 motherboard.

Incase you wanna save money and won't overclock in the future just get a non-k CPU in combination with the H77

The phanteks cooler he has picked is up there with the very best air coolers, so should be fine.
