U have to change ur mobo
From h77 to z77
U r chosing the case cm 690 it is a mid tower atx case
So go with the asrock z77 extrem4 is good mobo for you
And change your power supply
A corsair hx 650 is a good option for you

Before you suggest anything like that, make sure its actually in his budget lol. He may be over budget now.

@OP, If anything, change your mobo to the Asrock H77 Pro/MVP. Only if you want the extra features and a standard ATX size. Only if you want.
