Hello, I'm looking to upgrade my PC to be able to run new games for a few years. I've done small and cheap upgrades before, but I want to get something serious now. I'm looking to spend around $800, but I'm willing to go over if I need to. I've gotten some advice from friends and put together a cart of items, so I figured now would be a good time to come here for some advice.

My current specs are the stock HP Pavilion p6717c with an upgraded GPU/PSU (AMD HD 7850 1GB/500W PSU):

HP p6717c

Here is what I was looking at getting for now:

GTX 770 4GB GPU

i5-3570K CPU

750W PSU

(I'm unsure about the motherboard and case because if I can find a decent smaller motherboard that is big enough for all of my other parts and the HP case that I have, I would like to avoid spending money on a new case.)

Case

So, I only have two specific questions:

1. Are there any other motherboards I can get that will have enough room for the rest of the parts and cause minimal, if any, performance loss? ( I would like to avoid buying a new case if I can, unless I can get one cheap. )

2. With this setup what other parts/accessories are required? (Surge protectors/fans/Memory/ect)

I would also like any general advice on the build. Like whether it bottlenecks, has compatibility/space issues, or if there are better/cheaper parts available.

The components you chose are quite good , with the overclocked 3570K there will be no bottlenecks , and about the motherboard , i think the motherboard you chose is also very good and it has much room , the case is perfect , it's my favourite actually . Of course you will need memory and storage , 8gigs of 1866 kingston hyperx will suit you:http://www.amazon.com/Kingston-1866MHz-PC3-15000-KHX18C9T3K2-8X/dp/B00A771ZSW/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1388120956&sr=8-9&keywords=8+gb+beast
