I've seen the experts on here give really good advice to my previous post but my Newegg wish list went out of stock since i waited too long and because of those BitCoin miners. Let me know if my build is any good because I already purchased it. My budget is 1700 dollars.

CPU and mobo won't play - the 3570K goes with 1155 mobos like (the best) a ASRock Z77 Extreme 4 while the Asus Hero is a 1150 and would need the 4670K CPU.... with that out of the way ;) the rest all looks fine and would go with either combo I mentioned :)

Ditch the EVGA power supply. The 1000w and up models are all top quality units made by Super Flower but the sub 1000w units are made by FSP and are inferior to similarly priced units from other brands.

Check out the Seasonic G series. The 650w version should be similarly priced to the EVGA and it's a huge step up in quality electrically.
