Custom Gaming PC (Need Help!)

[SingaporeanGuy]

Hello all, i'm thinking of building a computer solely for Gaming purposes.
Besides gaming, i only use them for Microsoft office, Internet browsing and some youtubing.
My Budget is Roughly $1200,
I don't need all those high end gaming hardwares,
The games i'm going to play are mostly Dota 2, Minecraft and CS:GO.
Oh, i'm always stream when i play them (I use OBS, i stream on twitch.tv, my internet speed is fast enough, so no problem on the internet part).

This is the first time i'm building up a PC myself, so i need some professional help here!

Here are some of the hardware that i have researched on, but do not know the price of those in Singapore, so can anyone tell me roughly the prices on these?

Processor -> i5-3570
Graphic Card -> GeForce GTX 660

I am not sure what motherboard to get, and also how much RAM should i get, I'm wondering if 8gb RAM is enough, or 16gb. I don't think i need a SSD, or do i? I should be able to settle the PSU and casing and FAN part. Just want to know if a budget of $1200 is enough or not.

No need monitor (Mine is 23" atm), Mouse, keyboard and speaker.

Thanks all in advance

I don't intend to Overclock it.
Hmm, i think i need windows 7.

No overclock then get H77 motherboards instead of Z77 ones. Normal 8GB of RAM can already.

B75 seems good too, but what is the difference between B75 and H77?

By streaming i mean streaming my games on Twitch.tv Not watching shows from the television through my computer! If thats what the PVR is used for!
