just need some general opinions. Thanks.

Also i was thinking about getting a cheaper motherboard then the one i have on the list. Not sure how an H77 and a Z77 compare or how a cheaper one would effect the pc itself. I also don't plan on overclocking.

Updates: Getting Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive instead of the WD green.
getting ASRock Z77 Extreme4 instead of ASUS P8Z77-V DELUXE.

Total= $1,064.73.
 
Extreme 4 is a good MOBO, i use it. If your not overclocking or using dual video cards a H77 will have everything you need. Basically doesn't allow OCing and Crossfire/SLI.

Grab a different HDD, WD Greens are more a storage drive then a OS drive.

Besides that your build looks good. If you can stretch your budget to allow a 120GB SSD it'd improve general system performance & speed.

Can you recommend an HDD?

might as well upgrade to 1866 ram, it's about the same price as 1600.
 
You don't need to pay for windows mate. But not bad build.
