You won't be overclocking on an h77 motherboard. Get the 15 3470 to save money because of this. Or get a z77 board and an aftermarket CPU cooler.

The rest looks good.

Hey,

Yes the parts you have chosen are compatible, as in the parts will work together, however you may have issues putting all that into a micro ATX case. The graphics card you chose has an excellent cooler, however it is rather long and might not fit in your case. The windforce cooler exhausts hot air into the case, so you have to make sure you have enough airflow to exhaust that air out of the case. A reference card usually exhausts air out of the case. As for the size issue Asus recently released a Gtx 670 designed for micro-ATX cases:

I would double check that the graphics card you chose fits properly although i am skeptical, it looks like it could be a tight fit (its close to the drive bays). I would either go for a larger case or for a smaller card like that gtx670 I posted above.

Hope this helps!

You should get a z77 mobo to go with that i5 3570k. Here is one you could get so it gives you the option of overclocking later asrock z77 pro4-m http://www.outletpc.com/kf8249-asrock-z77-pro4-m-intel-z77-intel-motherboard.html
If/when you do overclock the cpu you should get a cpu cooler this one will fit in that case cm geminII s524 http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005SEZBXY/?tag=pcpapi-20

I would like to keep to gfx card as the 670 you mentioned I could not find and all other 670s are pricier, however in changing from microatx-atx the price went up significantly, (I plan to overclock the cpu to a stable ~4.0GHz and the overclock gpu significantly) what would you recommend to me to bring to price down?

The cpu cooler will work great for the overclock you're planning on doing. The psu is very good and more than enough power for this system.
