Everything is good. I would suggest shelling out the extra cash for a i5 3570k if you can afford it.

+1

even if i wont be OCing?

That cpu is fine. If you live by a microcenter (which I assumed you do since you listed it for the case) you can get a 3570k for $170 and $40 off a z77 mobo there. Otherwise that looks good.

 

[g-unit1111]

I'd say pay a bit more for a better case and go with something like an Antec One or Corsair 200R.

Then get the i5-3470 instead of the low power 3350P, it's only a $10 difference for a better CPU. And get a full size H77 motherboard instead of a micro.
