Hi. I am interested in building my own computer to learn more about the parts and how to actually build one. I am going to be using a few old parts, but I was wondering if there is any advice about my planned set-up. I am looking for a higher tier gaming computer.

MSI Z77 MPOWER LGA 1155
Intel Core i5-3570K Ivy Bridge 3.4GHz (3.8GHz Turbo)
120 g Samsung SSD drive
G.SKILL Trident X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3 2133
750W power supply (came with my dell xps)
SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 6870 1GB (from old setup)
500 GB hd (from old setup)

I plan to install Windows 7 ultimate, which I already have.

Any advice or suggestions and why you think so would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Well I am not looking to spend more than $600 or so. I'm keeping the graphics card for sure because I just bought it in 2012. The motherboard and CPU are on sale together on newegg.
