get a corsair or seasonic, just stay away from cheap generics, even the cooler master is not that good.

get x760 of seasonic or something. 600w should be comfortable enough

Get a non reference card and 8gb of ram also why i7 if this is for gaming get Core i5 3570K. With plenty of performance, top notch overclocking capability and enough horsepower to run any game you throw at it, the choice is a no brainer.Why not the i7 3770K you may ask? Well the i7 3770K merely adds Hyper-Threading and a higher clock speed to the equation. Though these two improvements are fantastic in CPU intensive tasks such as video encoding and 3D modeling, in gaming scenarios it doesn’t really do a whole lot. Games these days are much more graphics intensive than CPU intensive, so it’s a much better idea to invest the extra dough into the graphics card.

That said, those of you out there looking to do live streaming or other tasks which require any sort of video encoding, feel free to pick up an Intel Core i7 3770K instead.

IMO you're spending more than necessary. The i7 3770 is about 50% more expensive for almost no gaming improvement. Get a i5 3570K and OC it above 4 Ghz. you also dont need that expensive motherboard. A good ASRock Z77Extreme 4 would be a better buy. 16GB of memory is overkill for a gaming build. Get 8GB instead. You Might also consider adding in a power supply so you can turn it on and an optical drive to install windows. You can pick up the cable ties and antistatic strap at a hardware store and the Ethernet cable is easily aquired from Radio Shack or a local computer store.

Try a build like this:

[strike]I realize this goes a bit over-budged[/strike] but at the time it's one of the best set-ups in terms of power and upgradebility.

Motherboard: AsRock Z77 Extreme6, LGA1155, Intel Z77, DDR3, ATX $160
CPU: Intel Ivy Bridge i7-3770K, LGA1155, 3.5GHz, 8MB, Boxed $330
RAM: G.Skill 16GB (4x4GB) Ares DDR3-1600, 8-8-8, 1.5V $115
GPU: EVGA NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670 4GB Superclocked, 4GB GDDR5, 2xDVI, HDMI, DP, backplate $440
Case: NZXT Switch 810 Full Tower $170
PSU: XFX 1050W Black Edition ATX-PSU, 80+ Gold $200
SSD: G.Skill 240GB Phoenix III SSD, SATA 3, 2.5", 550 MB/s, 520 MB/s, 7mm $190
HD: Seagate 1.5TB Barracuda, 3.5", Sata3, 7200rpm, 64MB $100
OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OEM $100
Total: $1,805

It doesn't have an SLI but it's really not needed at this point of time (just my own honest opinion so you should ask around and see what other think).

There's a decent sound-card integrated in the motherboard and all the cables you need should be included (get a confirmation from the store). The hyper-threading in the CPU is not supported at this point of time but there's been talk that it will be used in the future so I say it's a good investment.

Unless you plan on overclocking the CPU over 4.2 GHz, the stock cooler will do just fine. Otherwise you should consider buying a better cooler which would cost around $200 depending on the grade.
