The build I posted should be more than enough for that.
GPU can arguably be downgraded depending on which "steam.com" games.

 

[scott24]

not to question your build ,but, ASRock H77 Pro4/MVP ATX LGA1155 Motherboard has an onboard USB 3.0 header, but the Rosewill CHALLENGER ATX Mid Tower Case does not have front panel USB 3.0 ports. do you have another case in mind that is compatible?
