Hi, I've bought the following parts

Motherboard: Asrock z77 extreme 4 ($130)
PSU - Seasonic M12 II 520w ($75)
ODD - Samsung Writer ($12)
Case - Asgard 382 ($50)
Thermal compound - Arctic cooling mx-4

I think these are the remaining parts I need
GPU - GTX 760
CPU cooler -
CPU - i5 (?)
Ram - 8GB 1600MHz
WiFi card - Prefer built in instead of USB dongle.

What are the prices of i5 CPU? I don't overclock,
so it will be good to know some recommendation...

I think the first mistake is to buy a mobo without a cpu. And i dont know why you buy that board if you aint gonna oc. Even if you purchase it from 2nd hand. You could have gotten a new MSI z87 g41 pc mate at $159

Anyway i5-3350P the cheapest is $215.

Cheapest GPU Palit GTX 760 with the FSP Aurum 550W platinum ~ $399. (you could have bought this combo instead of you buying a separate gtx760 and the seasonic you bought at $75.

Wifi card Asus 200Mbps one $45 iirc.

Ram gskills ripjaws 1600mhz at $95. If wanna save up can go for kingston value ram 8gb at $81.
