Everything looks fine!

However, if you aren't going to overclock, maybe you should take into consideration an i5-3550 CPU, it's a little bit cheaper

Though one disadvantage to picking the 3550>3570 would be it's lower clock speed. Since you won't overclock, you may want to choose the 3570k just because of it's higher clock speed.

The performance difference of the higher clock speed isn't worth the much higher price - go for 3450 if not overclocking. Why don't you link us the site you're buying from?

That's true, only a 200Mhz difference if I remember correctly... :lol:

hm, thats true , it might be better idea to get 3450, much cheaper, i could even get 7870 maybe if i took 3450 and a bit cheaper case.

i am buying in switzerland, this is store's site.

I think that you should definetly go with the 3450 and save that extra money.

And if your not a hardcore gamer (playing 5 or 6 hours a day, always on max settings) I would stick with the 7850.
You might want to check out the MSI Radeon HD7850 Twin Frozr 2GB OC or the Sapphire Radeon HD7850 2GB OC as i have read many good reviews about them in terms of coolness, quietness and performance.

I also think you could save some money with your motherboard and get the ASRock H77-PRO4-MVP motherboard. Has more features for a cheaper cost.

They are just a couple of areas you could save some money in, and I dont recommend going cheaper with your case as keeping your parts in a good airflow machine is very important!

Enjoy your new build!
