For gaming you'll get no benefit from the i7. You could save around $100 by chosing an i5 3***.

Your Mobo choice is fine but not made for overclocking - so don't choose the 3570k processor. If your not going to overclock the heatsink/fan that comes with the processor will be sufficient (albeit a bit noisier). If you do want to have the OC option you should choose the 3570k + z77 mobo + Hyper 212 or Noctua NH-D14.

As for the PSU - if your not going to overclock and you don't need the extra wattage for possibly running dual GPUs you would be fine with a quality 500w unit. (Seasonic, Antec, Corsair or XFX).

I'm trying to build a gaming rig my budget is ± 1200-1300 dollars before shipping.
The only thing i need is the parts so theres no need for a monitor or os but they parts should be able to be shipped to belgium cause i live there x) I'm a tad clueless on overcloaking but if it helps i'd like it though i am a tad clueless on the subject
The rig i've build still needs a CPU cooler and a power supply as im not sure which ones i should buy could you please help me improve my gaming rig?

Okay, like we said, don't buy an i7. There will be ZERO difference between that and an i5 for gaming.

I'd go with a z77 motherboard (yours atm can't overclock), a i5-3570k, and a Hyper 212+... but that's if I'm going to overclock.

If you don't want to / want to save the money, buy an i5-3470, keep the same motherboard, and don't worry about a fan.

As for the power supply, get a SeaSonic 500/520w.
