That motherboard will perform great and allow for a moderate overclock assuming you plan on buying a processor with a k.

Oh wow thanks for that! You went that extra step and I appreciate it :)

So it looks like both of you think the i5+z77 combo would be better so I might just do that.

Do I really only need a 520W PSU for this?

The build you posted looks like a good deal I might just do that!

Oh and as for the case would the one I posted still work?
I ask because my friend is giving it to me and I rather not spend more money if not necessary.
