Will this be for gaming or just general use? You will need a graphics card to play games.

You also have the wrong CPU, that is a combo of both a motherboard, and a CPU. This is the CPU you want: You must login or register to view this content.

You don't need 16Gb of RAM, 8GB is more than enough for a year or two. Don't get that RAM either, get the low profile corsair vengeance RAM.

Might as well get the Z77 board: You must login or register to view this content.
Newer, cheaper, few more features.

Case is on the expensive side for a budget and I'm not a huge fan of Antec but if you like it then its fine.

Have a look at this thread:

Your budget is a higher than that so you bump up the GPU to a 7850, or a 7870.

i choose the GTX 570 over the 7850 because it was cheaper, benchmarked better, still plays games amazing, i chose that 30gb bootdrive over a cpu cooler because i would rather have a fast bootup than a 4ghz cpu, i hope this is helpful
