This is just a final check up on my parts before I start buying everything. It will be my first time so please leave all suggestions and tips for me please!
If you read my last post, I am a first timer in building pc's. The computer I'm typing with is stone age technology, and I hope to get a future proof rig (for about 4 years for so).
Speed is really what I care about and since many of you recommended I get a GTX 670 for future proof (and because I play a decent amount of games) I included it in my build. Many of you also recommended an i5-3570K, but I don't only play games. I use photoshop pretty frequently and I'd like a system that can cut through programs like butter. The only other thing you guys suggested was a different PSU, but I think the one I chose is pretty decent. An 850W modular power supply at about $120 and has 5 stars from newegg, I don't see what is bad about it. Please tell me if I'm wrong.
Thank you

Thank you (once last time)
