You could physically buy all of these parts and create a semi super machine with it.

"Coolermaster Elite 430"

Oh my god that case is so rubbish...

Get a HAF 912 or something instead.

on tech forums i've heard tons of people (most owning the case, speaking from experience) say how horrid the cooling is and iirc say it's somewhat flimsy


there are other cons that i can't remember, but those are pretty major issues

if there's no budget for a haf 912, however, a xigmatek asgard ii would be a nice option

"this guy belives everything he reads"

i assume you are talking about me, yes?


well considering it was a tech forum and the persons in question have more than proven their expertise in the field, i would be inclined to believe them

Some corrections:

-Just get the 2500k - you'll see no performance difference, and you'll cut down a bit on the price
-Why are you getting a Z77 motherboard if you're going for a Z68 CPU? If you want an Ivy Bridge CPU, just get an i5 3570k. Otherwise, get a Z68 motherboard
-Instead of the 650, try to get a cheap Radeon HD 6850 or 6870. Those perform better.
-Find a nice, reputable mechanical keyboard (like the Razer Blackwidow or a CM Storm Quickfire Rapid) and a nice mouse to go with it (Logitech G400, Logitech G5, Razer Deathadder)
-A SeaSonic 620W PSU is much cheaper, and just as good
-You don't really need case fans. Your build looks cool enough
-You don't need aftermarket thermal paste
-You can get a better Cooler Master HAF 912 Case.

no i highly disagree

"-Find a nice, reputable mechanical keyboard (like the Razer Blackwidow or a CM Storm Quickfire Rapid) and a nice mouse to go with it (Logitech G400, Logitech G5, Razer Deathadder)"

expensive peripherals are like buying diamond hubcaps for your car

"-A SeaSonic 620W PSU is much cheaper, and just as good"

"much cheaper" - £10?

"-You don't really need case fans. Your build looks cool enough "

idk i made this to last a long time, constant high temperatures will break the PC soon enough

"-You don't need aftermarket thermal paste"

you don't "need" a mouse

"-You can get a better Cooler Master HAF 912 Case"

"better" ahahaha

Hey, just providing tips to make the build cheaper. Some things like the more expensive PSU and the after-market thermal paste, as well as the case fans aren't necessary at all.

The mouse and keyboard are entirely up to you for getting. Just saying - I know the difference as an owner of a Logitech G5 and a Razer Blackwidow.

Two more things

First of all, both the 6850 and 6870 perform better in benchmarks than the 650, and for a $15-20 gap (or even none, if you find one for cheap), I'd say it's well worth it.

Also, the 912 is lighter (if you're a LAN party guy), has great airflow (I can speak from experience), great for cable management, and pretty much make case fanning irrelevant.

if you saw my total price i'm on an extremely tight budget

620 eurobucks isn't too low for a budget, i spent less than that on a short-notice prebuilt and a new GPU for it

you're better off getting a gtx 650 ti, it preforms like 14 more fps in crysis, that's saying a lot

You'd be better off price wise with an AMD processor and compatible motherboard. I have a AMD phenom Black Edition Deneb quad core at 3.4 GHz which is priced between 90 and 100 USD, and the motherboard I have is basically the AMD equivalent of the motherboard you picked out, it's a gigabyte 970A-UD3.
