This is my first ever, trying to build a desktop from scratch.. Please let me know if i missed anything or somethings odd lol... (btw not planning to overclock)

Intel i5 3570k 3.4ghz LGA 1155 Processor

Cosair 8GB DDR3 240 pin @ 1866 MHz

MSI N560 GTX Ti Twin Frozr II 2gd5 2GB 256 bit Geforce 560

Gigabyte GA - z77X UD5H LGA 1155 intel z77 HDMI intel motherboard

OCZ 2T Series 750w Power Supply

Sony AD 7280s ob 24x sata internal DVD+/-RW drive

Western Digital 1TB sata3 7200 RPM 64MB Cashe Internal hard Drive

Cooler Master Cooler Master Elite 430 Mid Tower ATX Case with Window (RC-430-KWN1)

And thats about it for now... so if u could please help me with any pieces that i am missing.....and should i buy a CPU cooler? and how many fans should i buy? i know that the case only comes with 1 built in fan... and the graphic card... it seems bit pricy and was wondering there are any other ones with euqal or better performace less the price.... and lastly if u guys can give me a good advice on motherboard as well.... THANKS!
 
Stay with 1600mhz ram, its cheaper and you won't see any difference really. And providing it would fit in the case, I would get the CM hyper 212+ cooler.

The case you picked comes with a front fan so you'll need at least 1 more for the rear. You can put 2 more up top and 1 more on the side and 1 on the bottom. But the noise may be too loud for you.
 
Thanks for the advice =p i went ahead and bought the 212 "evo" cpu cooler (decided to overclock) and currently trying to figure out how to correctly "manage" air flow of my case... and already made few mistake when building the comp....(when handling products i wasnt thinking about static...) but test run (simple witching on) seems to be fine =P last of my parts should arrive within this week (oh and i bought a different GPU - Sapphire HD 6950 2GB)
Thanks again... the cpu cooler seems to be really popular and most of the computer store i visited recomended me exactly the same product (just juggles between the "plus" version and "evo" version.. lol)
