Any chance u live near a microcenter? They have way better deal on 3570k and z77 extreme4 Mobo - $290

Still, good build.

No, there's no computer parts stores in my area, but thanks for the heads up!

Good build, i actually recommend Cooler Master PSU's.

Th tech support is great, and is open in Pacific hours. So if you live in an eastern time zone the tech support stays open till like 9PM. It's very convenient.

all in all good build.

However, i would recommend an AMD CPU, perhaps the quad core bulldozer (FX-4100?)

The performance is good, the price is even better, and the installation is even easier. Amd CPU's are easier to install than intel ones, trust me i have a 2500k and a Athlon dual core
