From what I have read, there is no need for an i7 for gaming performance. Beyond an i5, there is very little gain, and the graphics card become the deciding factor, so I actually think that is the right CPU to choose

I am building one myself, but haven't fully decided on the build

Motherboard - a z77 one
CPU - i5-3570k
GPU - 670
RAM - 8 GB (Corsair maybe?)
Storage - HDD + SSD combo
PSU - about 650W, but enough headroom for a 2nd card
Case - Sharkoon Tauron

Any advice would be welcome

looking for quite or gaming? if quite id recomend the corsair 550D 

 

how much do you want to spend on the mobo

get the OC asus 670 direct CU II techpower up hads a nice review on it http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/ASUS/GeForce_GTX_670_Direct_Cu_II/

cpu as mentioned above are you not going to overclock  thats a good one if not maybe prior gen (sandy bridge) but you loose pci-e 3.x spec by going sandybridge and a few other things

PSUs spend more to go modular i did not on my first build and regretted it, but have since rectified the issue and 750 for a second card unless your looking at 7850 or less in terms of cards 

RAM - dont buy patriot is all i can say i had to rma an rma from them. corsair/crucial never had an issue

ssd the samsung 830 or crucial m4, 128gb if you can find them for 120 or less (99 bucks on newegg for the m4 right now) or 256 if you can get it for 220 or less
