Motherboard: Get the Pro4 with 8+1 phase power. Its only a few dollars more, and will overclock better.

PSU: you don't need that much. 600 watts would do fine.
 
Would go with the i5 version of the Ivy Bridge, and use the extra money for a 580 or similar. Would get better framerates, unless you're also using the computer for high-intensity rendering.
 
The motherboard will work with the 3770k. All you need is a 1155 socket board with H67, Z68 or a 7 series chipset. the Z77 that I linked is compatible and designed to work with the ivy 22nm processors.
 
the ASrock Z77 I listed before. That is the one I use, and it is a great board. I love the click BIOS and EFI thing, plus it is 8+4 phase (better OCing). You can not beat it for the price.
 
ok thank you im going to update the specs an make two new suggestions here in a sec

You don't need a 250GB SSD. 60 or 120 would be plenty. And if you get a seagate drive you can get a 2tb and ssd probably.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148834 and http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820226236 should be ablut the same price as the western digital you picked out.

no. I suggested the extreme4, or at least I meant to. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157293

I would also get the 3570k over the 3770k. the only difference is hyperthreading which is not worth the extra for games.

and on the case, I would get the HAF 912 or 922 over those. Cable management is much better.
 
1.Do i even need ssd?

2.second i agree on your motherboard choice

3.i am sticking with the latest because it can turbo boost faster ( i know by a very small amount)

4.well i wanted to stick with a simple cheap computer case because
a. i won't even see the case
b. that way i can upgrade on the other stuff
c. my choice is cheaper

For one, you wouldn't be able to use the Rosewill because its for MicroATX builds.

Second, its just not the looks. Its airflow, cable management, and quality.

Turbo boost is useless since you can overclock them manually way farther than you could turbo boost them.

And you don't need an SSD, but they're nice.
 
well my case is dual fans but thats pretty much it ... what do you recommend that isn't over $100 cause i've seen niv=ce ones for $80- 60

second i dont know how to overclock them manually so someone give a link please on how to and someone please give me a link to a chart comparing those two i7 processors please!!!

Not really. They will increase overall system performance though. The HDD is the biggest bottleneck in systems currently.

Its a very good board.

Turbo boost is not in the least bit useful. Just disable it and push the multiplier to 40 and you are set, far faster than turbo and on all cores.

your choice is not much cheaper, and the airflow is much better meaning your system will run cooler and last longer. Either way you need an ATX not micro ATX case.
