well iit's a given the i5 is better,

there was a vid on ncix on youtube about some npc who opens the door on a mission on bf3 doesn't appear ^_^.

it's ok to get a i5 then a 7770 with a z77 mobo and just buy a better gpu in the next payday. or the following month

and this is your monitor if I read it right

My monitor is a 17" LCD display with resolution of 1280 by 720

so even a 7770 is good enough for that, then upgrade gpu then monitor, voila a nice rig.

Personally I would get an i3 3220 and the best GPU you can afford.

Because you play battlefield, you will see a bit of improvement with an i5 that you won't see in other games.

Its up to you. An i5 with 7770. (better for BF3 multiplayer with medium graphics settings) or an i3 with 7850. (higher graphics settings in pretty much every game)

Considering the fact that I have a small screen, spending too much on Radeon 7850 does not make sense when 77770 can do the job.
Along with the 7770, I believe a quad-core processor would do a far better job than i3 3220.
So, i guess its the i5+7770
Now, about the mobo. Is Z77 absolutely necessary with the i5 3570k?

If you want to overclock it, yes. You are a bit wrong in your i5 is way better statement because it will really only be better in BF3 multiplayer as most games only use 2 cores.

The 7770 will serve you well at your resolution and should get you highish settings in most games.

Best solution

I am guessing you are from India which makes AMD suggestions a bit of a bummer yet I had a few good alternatives but anyways since AMD is non-existent in that country we will consider intel options.

1] you don't need a i5 3570k, overclocking is not necessary and it not a game either, you can get yourself a i5 3550 or 3470 for a lot less.

2] Throw it on a extremely cheap and dull B75 platform, sure it won't look pretty and be a bit unimaginative but you will save buck.

3] HD7850 is the way to go.

4] CX600 is a bit overkill the CX500 is very feasible here.

5] Corsair 400R is a good case but money is everything here, why not a cheaper Coolermaster K350?
