Hey,

I started on this computer buidling hobby 1-2 yrs ago, so this is what I currently have:

CPU: i7 3770
Motherboard: z87x ud5h
Graphics Card: Gtx 670
Ram: 8gb
Storage: 120 SSD, 1TB HDD

So Basically I want to change my pc into a proper gaming pc, so after giving it lots of thought this is what I came up with:

CPU: i7 4790k
Motherboard: MSI z97 G45
Graphics Cards: 2 way SLI GTX 670
Ram: 32
Storage: 1TB SSD,1TB HDD
Headphones: g930
Sound Card:?
Case:? (Have Any Suggestions?)

So What Do U Think?
 
Solution
You dont need 32 gigs of ram for gaming, 16 is a bit much. You can probably get by with the existing 8 you have now.
There is no need for a 1TB ssd, 256 gigs is a good amount.

With the money saved you can put it to a new graphics card, something like a 780 or 290/290x.

For the case, Corsair makes some good lineups, Carbide 300r is a good all-arounder.
If you have money to burn, then you should do that. :)

If you want a nice gaming PC, then upgrade your video card to a GTX 780 or 780 Ti. Maybe add another 8 GB of RAM (32 is overkill - ask me, I know since I have a 32 GB rig and am hardly using half the RAM). Invest in a nice Power Supply (I notice you don't even mention that very critical component of any computer. :)

This alone will save you a boatload of money and let you game at very high settings.
