$1200ish New Build. HELP ME!

how did you get up to $1200 with those parts?? for a $1200 rig I would definately try to fit in a gtx 670

I'd get ivy bridge i5-3570k and z77 board. ditch the corsair h60 and get an antec kuhler 620 its cheaper and performs better and has better quality components. do NOT use a caviar green for a boot drive, get a blue or black, green is too slow (I know from experience). I'd get an SSD boot drive if you can.

check to make sure you PSU has enough wattage. I too would get a gtx 670 if budget alloys otherwise a 560 ti. blu ray isn't necessary, I have never found myself needing or wanting it. get a $20 high rated dvd-rw and put more into your graphics card

most people recommend getting a noctua or hyper 212 for the heat sink but they just won't give the antec kuhler 620 a try, it performs quite well for $50

i5-3570k
ASRock Z77 Extreme4 Gen3
Hyper 212 EVO
PC Power and Cooling 650W PSU
GTX 670
Crucial Ballistix sport 2x4GB RAM
Carbide 500R Corsair Case (great cable management and thermals)
Lite-On 24X DVD Burner

The above will be under your budget and will run MUCH better.

The 550W power supply is about 100W more than necessary so thats perfectly fine, i don't mean to be an idiot but am i missing anything? Or have I got all the parts necessary?
