So I am pretty set that these are the parts I want to use for a new build. Unless there is some incompatibility issue then I am going go ahead and buy the parts. I am just asking if anyone sees any compatibility issues between my parts before I buy, I made sure to check my self but you never know, some times the littlest details can throw the whole thing off and make it not work and it would just waste time for me and my friends, thanks guys, would very much appreciate it.

Parts I picked

I know it's more expensive and the case is a personal preference, but I'd get the Phantom 410 instead http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146087 it looks cool, it's white and has better cable management. Alternatively, there are the Zalman Z9 and Z11 cases which are cheaper and are good.

Z9 Plus http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811235027
Z11 Plus http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811235034

You may as well get the i5 4670K since it's easier to overclock. You don't have to overclock right away. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116899

I would normally recommend a Z87 motherboard for the Haswell chips but it looks like th H87 board is decent enough and it's well-priced. If you were interested in a higher-end motherboard, take a look at this Z87 one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128592 it is more expensive than the H87 one of course.
 
I think the i5-4570 offers great value really. I haven't played with Haswell yet, but I've read many reviews saying it gets really hot easily. So unless you invest in a good cooler, you won't get far.
Imagine that he also needs a graphics card. The $60 mobo and $40 CPU difference is gonna give him much more performance in games if spent on the GPU - even bigger if you add CPU cooler cost as well.
The stock Intel cooler will even match the motherboard I suggested, which I think is important if you have a side window.
 
Ah, I didn't see it was a 4570. I thought it was a 4670 (non-K, if such a thing exists...)

If you want a good quad-core but you're not interested in overclocking at all, then by all means get the 4570. If you are interested in overclocking though, you should get the 4670K and also pick up an aftermarket cooler too.

And obviously if you get the 4570, the need for the Z87 board is kinda gone too.

Sorry about that!
