It depends. Are you going to overclock it?

If not, then get a i5-3450, which should be cheaper than the i7's.

If you are going to overclock, get the 3570K and an aftermarket cooler.

Between the 660Ti and HD7950, would recommend the 7950. Though both are quite similar, would depend largely on what games you are playing (and at what resolution or other oddity such as 3D) to pick between them

If all you are doing is gaming, then the 3570k is the better choice. If you are video editing or doing some heavy compute tasks, then the 3770k is the better option.

I don't recommend OCZ for anything right now. I would get a Seasonic psu at 620w. I would go with the 7950 as it is faster than the 660ti. I would also get at least a 128GB SSD from Samsung or Crucial. The rest of your build looks good.
