Alright I have everything in the cart ready to buy via Newegg 
Reasons why I picked my items.
-I know people are going to hate on the whole "Corsair Fanboy" thing. The thing is, I think they make fantastic products. I've always bought their products and have always been satisfied.
-I'm not getting a 128GB SSD, because I don't need it. I'm using it for boot driver only. Plus, it saves me around 60 dollars to get the 64GB version.
-I got an H100 because it is 10 dollars more than an H80. They both keep the interior look clean and doesn't have massive fans or heatsinks.
-I'm getting the Signature Superclocked GTX680 because it is only 20 dollars more than the regular version. I thought why not. Also because the regular was out of stock.
-I tried to get everything into a combo. Unfortunately, only 4 items are available for combos. It's still good though. Saving around $50.00.
Any other issues or changes you guys want me to change with this, let me know! I'm open for all suggestions! I feel like this is a great build for a budget of $1,700. Thanks everyone for help. +Rep to all:)
Intel Core i5 3570k/Corsair H100 COMBO - $327.98 ($17.00 savings)
Asus Z77 Sabertooth - $239.99

DUDE! The sabertooth is a good board, hell a great board. But it's not a gaming board. The on-board sound is pretty crap, and that matters for gaming. Def go for a V Gene, or a z77 Sniper. All are premium boards gaming/OC boards. No need to buy a sound card, like you might want to on the sabertooth if you have a good audio setup/pair of cans.
And buy an SSD. They are so cheap, and so fast, it's by far the most rewarding upgrade/purchase you'll make in years. Get a Crucial M4 and never look back. Put to use the great hardware you're buying and ditch the mechanical hd. At least for the OS drive.

I'm sorry, but how can you say the Sabertooth is not a gaming motherboard. Please explain to me why it isn't a gaming board. How could it have features for overclocking..etc..and say it isn't a gaming board. Of course it is. Look around at people's rigs bro.Originally Posted by jayhay

Also, did you even read the thread? Don't post idiotic comments like this if you didn't read the thread. Hell, you didn't even need to read the thread, but the post i made about 10 minutes ago. It isn't hard to read 5 sentences before you post.

Looks great! All these components are on my build list in some respect except for the case which I already have.
Also there's a combo for the sabertooth and the H100 that will save you another $3 ($20 combo savings total)

Lol good catch. 3 dollars!Originally Posted by Reivgaar
Looks great! All these components are on my build list in some respect except for the case which I already have.
Also there's a combo for the sabertooth and the H100 that will save you another $3 ($20 combo savings total)
