Looks good. Get a 7870 though (might be cheaper than a 660 Ti but you'll get about the same performance) and I'd recommending getting a Z77X-UD3H, much better board. Will allow you to get that 3570K overclocked nicely.

Could get a Carbide 300R to save money on the case, the 300R is like $70 at the moment from Newegg. Or the Fractal Design Define R3 or R4 may be cheaper than the CM 690 II.

Thank you,

In your opinion, should i get the 7870 GPU or i should stick with that 660ti?

Been told that 660ti is really good with the i5-3570k since i don't want to ''super'' overclock this build..

Need to order this asap:)

If you are willing to spend the money for a 660ti then get the 7950. What specific games will you be playing?
