Advice on Build

[mawjiun]

Hi

I am thinking of getting this build, to be used for gaming. Will be using an existing 1TB HDD for storage.

Intel i5-3570K Desktop Processor (3.40GHz, LGA1155, 77W)
ASUS P8Z77-I Deluxe Motherboard (LGA1155, Intel Z77, WI-FI Go) Mini ITX Board
ASUS Geforce GTX670 DirectCU Mini, 2GB, OC edition
Silverstone SFX Series 450W 80 Plus Gold (ST45SF-G)
Samsung SSD 840 Series 120GB
Silverstone FT03-mini case (Silver or Black color)
SilverStone 8X DVD R SATA Optical Disc Drive
Corsair Vengeance LP 8GB (2x4GB)DDR3 1600MHz CL9(White)

Any advice on what parts to change or include esp the GPU? Should I also wait for Haswell or the GTX7XX?

I know that I am paying a premium for the FT03(M), but I really like the looks haha.

Thanks!

Any advice? No budget in mind, jus what I can best fit into the casing.

I think you might need a better power supply and CPU cooler if you want to overclock. Not too sure how much you need exactly but I don't think 450W is enough

get a FSP 550w plat psu, its better

do consider powercolor 7970, strong gpu

the rest are ok

You will need an after market cpu cooler if you intend to overclock.
