I've chosen a GTX 670 graphics card, an intel i7 3770K processor, Intel DX79TO motherboard, Corsair CX-750 V3 power supply, seagate barracuda 2TB harddrive and i'm not sure about what case/ memory to buy. I would appreciate any advice on the parts i have chosen and if there are better ones for the same cost.

Your choices are pretty good.
The 3770k is a bit much; you can get the same gaming performance with a 3570k.

You might want to consider adding an SSD as an OS drive too; you'll definitely notice the difference.

Kingston, Corsair, and G.Skill are all solid memory. A standard 16gb set should set you back about 60-80$. Case is purely a matter of preference--pretty much anything will work since you aren't water cooling.

Cooler Master, Corsair, and Antec are some of the more popular case manufacturers.
The Antec 900 is a good starter case.
