i wanted help with the items i have chosen for my pc.

i want a gaming computer with a budget of around 1200 dollars.
the parts i have chosen are:

Processor: intel Core i7-3770

Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-
Z77X-UD5H

Graphics card: EVGA GeForce GTX 670 FTW Signature2

desktop memory: Kingston HyperX KHX1600C9D3K2/8GX

hard drive: Western Digital WD1002FAEX

fan and heat sink: Cooler Master RR-B10-212P-G1

power supply: Rosewill RX750-S-B 750 watts

what i want to know is if i should switch out any parts to save money or improve performance and most important if they dont go together. also if i have enough watts, if i forgot any parts (besides the case), and overall opinion.

you don't really need an i7 for gaming. The performance gain of an i7 compared to an i5 isn't worth the extra cost.

IF you're not overclocking (presumed from the i7-3770 instead of 3770k), you won't need a Z77 motherboard - H77 will be fine.

I'd also recommend the GTX 760 instead of the 670 - although the 760 is a lot cheaper, it performs almost as well as a 670.
