Intel Core i7 3770K
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB OC
OCZ Vertex 4 128GB SSD

hmm ill have a look for you and post bak :) just remember when your building your pc source stuff out, things can be cheaper on different sites, maybee only like 10dolars here and there but a saving of 10 buks on different things can be like 60 buks :) enough to upgrade a component of your rig

Spend less on the CPU and more on the GPU if this is for gaming. Go for an i5 3570K and a GTX 660 Ti or a 670 or perhaps a Radeon HD 7870 or 7950. 3570K + 660 Ti/670/7870/7950 would perform better than a 3770K + 650 Ti in games.

Rest looks ok, which case are you putting it in?

I wasn't quite sure which case to put on it as I am not sure what would be a good one to suit the motherboard. With the CPU and GPU, I was after a good all-round computer with the occasional game.

I'd still spend less on the CPU and more on the GPU. The 3570K is a fantastic processor, really, you don't need a 3770K and I don't think you would gain very much at all by going for one over a 3570K. GPU wise, any of the cards I listed in my last post would be nice.

The case is a personal decision at the end of the day, but depending on how much you are prepared to pay depends on which case you can get. If you are looking for an affordable case, I'd look into the likes of the Carbide 300R from Corsair or the Z11 Plus from Zalman, or perhaps the Define R3 or R4 from Fractal Design. If you're willing to spend more, the NZXT Phantom is an awesome case! :)
