here it is no real price limit but i just want what i need to play most games and get as close to 60 fps or higher at medium to high settings.

here is a link to the build mainly looking on info on weather some parts can be swapped out for cheaper ones of equal quality/ performance.... also checking to see if it is a balanced build for gaming and normal school work and web searching use.

TX750 is overkill. You can get by with a 550W-650W psu.

Why not get a 'k' cpu? Since you're buying a Z77 motherboard and a D14 cooler, it seems like you're into overclocking the cpu and only 'k' cpus have unlocked multiplier. Maybe you'd like to swap that with a 3570K.

Other than that, everything else seems pretty good.

I suggest this build. There is $115 left over and you can either save this or use it to buy a better case and maybe a 80 plus gold psu.
