Additional Comments: This is my first build attempt, I've had input from friends. I'm most likely going to be picking up the 3570K, for the efficiency and slightly increased performance. For gaming, I will do D3, BF3, SC2, Shogun 2, and various other PC games I haven't had the chance to play on my POS laptop. For school, I may end up using some modeling software for my major.

I will be piecing this together, and I will have enough money to have purchased everything by mid-June

Here is the list on Newegg. I'm not opposed to going to other reputable locations for business, but Newegg has just treated me well in the past.

Any and all comments welcome!

You could drop the mobo down to a P8Z77-V Pro, unless you will use the Deluxe's extra features. The P8Z77-V Pro overclocks just as well as the Deluxe too.
