Need opinions / suggestions on this build 850$ budget

[Wolfz]

Hello, I need opinions and suggestions on this PC that I put together. I have a 850$ budget and would like to know if I need to change stuff.

Here's the build http://pcpartpicker.com/p/iwTX

get a z77 board instead of z68 because you need a sandy bridge to update a z68 to support ivy bridge but z77 boards already support ivy bridge

Bad board choice. Get the ASRock Extreme 4 Z77.
Do not get the 560 Ti 448. The 7870 beats it by a good margin and is cheaper.
Spend a few bucks more and get 1600 RAM.

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/ix6w how is this? I can't afford a Z77 Extreme 4. Would go over the budget, unfortunately i'm quite tight on the 850$ Also would it matter if this case doesn't have front headers for 3.0 USB even though the board does?

 

[kylekillzone]

you just wont have usb 3.0 in front of your case but other than that your good

Here's one for $800 with a 7870 and 3570K.

What's that difference between a GHz edition and a normal one?

 

[obsama1]

The GHz edition is pre-overclocked.

 

[Wolfz]

The GHz edition is pre-overclocked.

Would it be better to get one of those or just a normal graphics card?

 

[obsama1]

Normal is better. You're spending more for a minor performance difference. And you can overclock it yourself.

Just making sure everything is right. I changed the case to a case that i like.

Why are you getting the 7850? The 7870 is the same price, and performs better. The Challenger is OK, but there are better cases. Try the Bitfenix Shinobi. I have it, and it a great, minimalist case.
