Hello , first of all i would like to say that i know very little about these things and i want to be sure that hardware i chose for my PC is compatible with each other, not to mention anything else...

My goal is to build a computer which is good for almost everything, especially for gaming.Also note that i am not going to overclock anything i will buy(i want my PC to last as longer as possible and i have no knowledge in overclocking too.)
Here is my configuration:

CPU - Core i7 3770k 3.5ghz 317$ - http://www.amazon.com/Intel-i7-3770K-Quad-Core-Processor-Cache/dp/B007SZ0EOW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1367507625&sr=8-1&keywords=core+i7+3770k+3.5ghz+lga+1155+processor

Motherboard - i don't really know which one should i take ,but i need your advice here,the budget for MB is under 300$ ,i want my motherboard to cover all basic and usefull functions my CPU and other hardware will provide.

RAM - Corsair Vengeance 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1600 MHz 120$ - http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-Desktop-Memory-CMZ16GX3M2A1600C10/dp/B006EWUO22/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1367507697&sr=1-2&keywords=ddr3+16+gb+1600

GPU - this is the hard one too , can't decide between these 2 :Sapphire radeon hd 7970 3gb 950 mhz 460$ or Gigabyte geforce gtx 670 OC 4gb 450$(2GB 400$). Sapphire http://www.amazon.com/Sapphire-DL-DVI-I-SL-DVI-D-PCI-Express-11197-03-40G/dp/B009B6Y01Y/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1367508037&sr=8-1&keywords=sapphire+radeon+hd+7970+3gb+ddr5
Gigabyte http://www.amazon.com/GIGABYTE-GV-N670OC-2GD-GeForce-Windforce-Graphics/dp/B0080I06WQ/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1367507993&sr=1-1&keywords=gigabyte+geforce+gtx+670+2gb
i used several websites to compare these 2 cards and i know GTX 670 is better at gaming ,but i don't want to run all games on highest settings (BTW i am going to run my PC on 1600x900 resolution monitor or 1980x1200) I want to go with Radeon...

HDD - WD 1TB 7200RPM 64mb cash 130$ http://www.amazon.com/Western-Digital-WD2001FASS-Caviar-Desktop/dp/B002MD05SA/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1367508466&sr=1-3&keywords=500gb+7400+rpm+hard+disk+pc
SSD - Crucial m4 128GB 130$ http://www.amazon.com/Crucial-256GB-2-5-Inch-9-5mm-CT256M4SSD2/dp/B004W2JL2A/ref=sr_1_6?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1367508586&sr=1-6&keywords=ssd+256+gb+pc

PSU - Corsair Enthusiast Series TX 750 105$ (850Watt 130$) or more if needed ,because i don't know how much will this PC require http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Enthusiast-Watt-Bronze-TX750/dp/B004MYFODI/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1367508718&sr=1-3&keywords=corsair+power+supply+750+watt

As for DVD-RW ROM and Case i will go with cheap ones...

I thinks this is all i wanted to ask, any help would be appreciated,Thanks for your time.

Additional info : Budget doesn't really matter , i just want to know about compatibility issues and how good is this configuration for my goal building this computer.This configuration will cost me around 1700 $

U said u wont overclock, so a xeon-1230 v2 is very good
Hd 7970 is faster then gtx 670, when overclocked it is faster then gtx 680
8gb ram is enough.
This pc wont consume more then 350w

CPU: Intel Xeon E3-1230 V2 3.3GHz Quad-Core Processor ($234.98 @ SuperBiiz)

No reason to purchase a Xeon for this rig. No scalable applications will be used.

For gaming and every day usage an i7 and 16GB of RAM are wasted purchases. Here's what I would suggest:
