Unless you are planning to add a 2nd GPU, in crossfire (which would be "borderline" with 650w PSY), you gain nothing, from Z77 mobo. A H77 would be just as good. 550W PSU would be more than enough. Suggest XFX, or if you want modular, Rosewill Hive. The Gigabyte GPU is pretty good. The MSI TwinFrozr may be slightly better.

Everything looks fine, nice cpu, cpu cooler, case, and memory.

Only thing really iffy is the storage, which is a seagate hard drive. They tend to fail, and if you can shell out a little more, get Western Digital.

Also, the gpu is a little over priced. 254? Just get this one.

Hi, will a GIGABYTE H77-D3H-MVP which is at $105 do?
And for the GPU, i only planning to use the one GPU. Don't know much about crossfire.
And for the XFX 7870, it doesnt sell at my local computer part shop :/

Ive checked in most australia stores. That GPU cost more than the gigabyte.
Up to $270+ :/

Yes, H77 is fine, for your needs. The only things, extra, that Z77 give, are processor overclocking, and better support, if you want to add a 2nd GPU, in crossfire, neither of which give any benefit, for YOU.
Whilst I have no direct knowledge of that particular GPU, gigabyte GPUs are generally good, and have no reason to suppose that's any different.
