[New Build] Need Advide

[cypresskthx]

Hi I'm building a new computer mainly for gaming.
my budget is around 800 dollars.

If i buy the i5 3570k from micro center i get $50 off any motherboard
CPU - http://www.microcenter.com/product/388577/Core_i5_3570K_34GHz_LGA_1155_Processor

Mobo - http://www.microcenter.com/product/387554/Z77_Extreme4_LGA_1155_Z77_ATX_Intel_Motherboard

Heatsink - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002G1YPH0/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

Video card - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130699

PSU - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182200

Ram - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231489

Case - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811147153

SSD - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0077CR60Q/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00

I need opinions if everything looks good or what i should change. A big question for me is the Computer case and Also how much ram i should get. I know its risky to get a refurbished video card but the deal is pretty good. The Power supply is also up in the air but that one has good reviews. Thanks guys!

Mostly a well balanced build, but just a few concerns.
1) Storage : You will need more than 128 GB, so I suggest a 1 or 2TB Green Hard Drive.

2) That GPU is good, but I suggest the Radeon HD 7850. Slightly lower price, no need to over clock (its already OC'ed), and pretty much the same/slightly better performance for the a lot less power usage.

If you're willing to go a bit over budget, this is best:

3)PSU - This power supply is an amazing alternative, and can easily go to about 700W output if need be. Corsair GS600.

CPU and mobo is good.

Go for the 212 EVO, not 212+. The EVO has wider direct contact on the baseplate., leads to better movement of heat from the CPU to the heatsink.

Yep, HD7850 or GTX660 over the GTX570.

PSU is horrible. Low end Rosewills are not very good and its feature set is the bare essentials.
Go for this XFX 550W (Still plenty to power the rig as it stands). $70 ($10 rebate)

Dont need 16GB of RAM for gaming, can drop back down to 8GB.
Also, get a low profile kit (G.Skill Ares are good ones). Wont conflict with any CPU heatsinks

Case is Meh IMO. It will do but there are better budget cases like the Zalman Z9 available.

SSD is good.
