1. haswell CPU will not fit in z77 chipset mobos. it is 1150 socket CPU and z77 mobos have 1155socket. It can fit in only 1150 socket mobos or z87 chipset incoming mobos. because these are made for haswell CPUs.
2. choose SSD from Samsung 840 pro series minimum 120gb for best requirements.
other things looks good.
thank you.
 
Yeah, new Z87 (and H87) MBs for LGA1150. That one you have now is overkill anyway.

Yeah, at least 120GB. Don't think it's worth the extra $$$ for the Pro, but the 840 is a good drive.

CLLCs are generally overpriced and underperforming. Get a decent air cooler.

Get 1.5V RAM, make sure it's CL9 DDR3-1600.

PSU is overkill; 550W+, or 800W+ if SLI, from the brands in my sig.

Thanks alot for the input, I'll have to look around for another supporting motherboard, probably a smaller watt PSU and look for another SSD, though i only intended it as a boot drive anyway for the logon (etc.) speed
