    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.

    might as well upgrade to 1866 ram, it's about the same price as 1600.
