You got a amd motherboard you need a intel lga 1155 motherboard. This is a good one asrock z77 extreme4 $130 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157293
The money you saved on the motherboard you should put towards getting a i7 3770k $320 http://www.amazon.com/dp/B007SZ0EOW/?tag=pcpapi-20

Yea sorry copy and paste error from my AMD build i was considering.... i was lookign at going with an ASUS P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3 LGA 1155 Intel Z68 HDMI SATA for 199.99

I think it would be better to get a asrock z77 extreme4 or gigabyte z77 ud3h and the better cpu i7 3770k.

 

[ARabidGoose]

I agree, I think I will be going with the asrock z77

You dont want the EVGA670. Reference cooling is not a good idea. MSI has a way better 670. (670 Power Editon)

Get the Noctua NH-D14 at your budget.
