Okay well, im creating my first PC and i've heard its cheaper if you build your own (im going to have a buddy of mine put it all together) but im picking out all the stuff i want. I was also wondering if cases came with internet connection otherwise as i say "Wifi". Well anyways here it is

Intel Core i5-3570K Processor 3.4GHz 5.0GT/s 6MB LGA 1155

Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus

ASRock Z77 Extreme4 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600

Corsair CX Series 500 Watt ATX/EPS Modular 80 PLUS Bronze

Antec Nine Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

EVGA GeForce GTX760 w/EVGA ACX Cooler 2GB GDDR5 256bit, Dual-Link DVI-I, DVI-D, HDMI,DP, SLI Ready Graphics Card

My total right now is around 870... I'm aware i don't have a hard drive yet, if you have any suggestions that would be good...

Thanks guys,
If i forgot anything, let me know please.

I found cheaper and faster RAM. Swapped the HDD for a good one. Saved some money on the case. 300R is awesome, I know, I have it.

Wow dude, You're AWESOME! and you didn't even change much, you kept the real important stuff the same, like the processor and stuff, didn't change it to AMD or anything. I do prefer ripjaws, i just couldn't find anything rather cheap but you did that for me, and cases arent a big deal for me, i just wanted to be sure all my stuff would fit lol. and i kinda just randomly chose a Hard Drive (Not good ik) lol. Thanks alot man, i guess its time to start saving up.

Prices do change. For example, that 1866 has to be a sale. And it is. If I were to save up and buy things then I'd buy things on sale. So, grab the RAM while it's at that price. Great deal! And RAM prices have been going up recently.

Also, if you live near a Microcenter store you can get a bundle which pairs a CPU + mobo at a discount. Otherwise, I highly suggest going in a store and seeing the price of the CPU. something to consider.

btw, case is pretty important but you don't need to go overboard. Some people buy a $100 case and yet they have a $200 GPU. ? Doesn't make sense. If you want performance you gotta spend it on the right components. Any $50-80 case will give you more than enough.
