Did you mean the 3570K? 'Cuz getting the non-K version with a Z77 board doesn't make sense. If you're not into overclocking, save $100 on the board by dropping down to an ASRock H77M one for $70.
Else, if you're willing to learn 'bout overclocking, get a $230 Core i5-3750K with the $135 ASRock Z77 Extreme4
Also, the case could be a tad cheaper. And even though they are mostly a matter of personal preference, I tend to personally put more money inside the case, than on it
Case: $55 COOLER MASTER Elite 431 Plus OR $50 Rosewill CHALLENGER Black Gaming ATX Mid Tower Case
The 431 Plus for $5 extra, comes with a front USB 3.0 port -

No sense getting an unlocked CPU with an H77 motherboard - you forfeit access to the multiplier. If you're going to go H77 it's better to pair it with a 3450, but there's no real reason to get anything beyond that unless you're going to overclock.
The HAF 912 has better airflow and lots of nice extras than the Elite 431 does - I'd stick with it. The original build looks good to me, there really isn't a lot I would change. -

this would be similarish to what your trying to get at
but then i realized the mobo was 120, brb looking for a different one
actually, screw the combo, canadas 3450's already on 10$ off promo
Oh I didn't see the newegg.ca - I have the latest episode of Breaking Bad on, going back and forth between that and here.
Yeah that combo will work though. -

Hey G-Unit, please check his processor link before posting. He linked a non-K 3570 with a Z77. I just changed that to a H77 and asked him to keep the non-K CPU in his link. Or the K with Z77
What on earth are you going on about? -

What I'm saying is that it makes absolutely no sense to not get the 3570K if you're going to be paying that much money for a processor. With H77 you forfeit use of the multiplier. And the .1GHz speed differences between the 3450, 3550, and 3570 aren't that noticeable to warrant the extra cost. If you're going to overclock, do it. If not then you don't need a CPU with speeds that high. Put that money in the GPU instead. That's where the differences in a gaming build lie - not the CPU.
