Do not get that build.

Its unlikely there is any overclocking ability using a B75 motherboard

and you are paying extra for an unlocked 3570k that can be overclocked

Hi, if you don't plan to overclock get the i5-3470 and a h77/z75 motherboard, in this case, it's a z75 because it's cheaper than a standard atx h77.

Get the asrock extreme 4 in newegg and you'll have 8GB ram totally free.
I would personally get the nzxt case and spend more on the gpu, but if you really want the case...

Well I do the case you reccomended but is this a high end build your recommending or middle class?

 

[properbuilds]

Hi, the nzxt case is of quality and really solid case, with decent airflow and cable management, it's a mid end build, a high end would have a 7970 or 670 GTX as a gpu.
It all depends on your budget, i guess you made a new thread, which i listed the 650$ build.
