Hello everybody. Just registered here.
I am building my first PC. What i have now is:
Motherboard: Asrock Z77 Extreme4
CPU: i5 3570k (Which i will probably overclock in the future)
GPU: GTX 770(not sure what edition to chose, can use some help here too)
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2x4GB)
HDD: 1TB WD
Optical Drive: LiteOn IHAS124-04 24x SATA

I need a simple case (no super design necessary..) which does a good job at ventilation. And it also should fit all of those components mentioned. And after that i need some help with PSU choice. How many Watts would i need and which GPU Brand you recommend?

The corsair 400r is a good case, pretty simple, and a good price right now at newegg. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168....
As for a power supply, http://images10.newegg.com/BizIntell/tool/psucalc/index... says 535 watts. I dont know enough about overclocking to judge how much wattage it adds, but if it were my build, I'd err on the safe side and get something like a 750w to give yourself more room in case you decide to add more drives or another video card. Look for a seasonic, evga, or maybe an ocz power supply in that wattage range, and find one that fits your budget and needs(modular, non modular,etc)

It's still early here, and I haven't had my coffee yet, but it looks like your motherboard and CPU are not compatible.

edit: looks good now :D
