also maybe instead of the i7 with Asrock motherboard Ive heard good things about:

• Name: Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD5H Intel Z77/1155p/4xDDR3/SATA3/SATA/USB3/2xGLan/DP/HDMI/DVI/Raid ATX MB
Price: $254.00

• Name: Intel i5-3570K LGA1155 IVY Bridge Boxed CPU (BX80637I53570K)

the cost of both set-ups are roughly the same no significant difference in price
