HELP ON GAMING PC BUILD

[sdhdaniel]

Hey guys, I need help on building a gaming rig on a budget of 1.2-1.5k w/o monitor. I don't plan to OC.

This is what i was thinking of getting

Case: (hoping to get a Corsair case)
MOBO: ??? with wifi
CPU: Intel Core i7-3770 Processor
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 1600mhz 8GB (2x4GB)
GPU: Sapphire HD7870 2GB or Geforce GTX 650/660?
ODD: Samsung DVD RW
HDD: ??? 1TB
SSD: Plextor M5P 128GB
PSU: ???

1st time building my own rig, not sure if i missed anything out. Any recommendations on what to get and the prices?

You don't need an i7 for gaming, get the 3470/3570 i5.
Hitachi/Seagate for HDDs are fine. Get a Seasonic S12II PSU; 520W will be enough.
The Nvidias are overpriced beyond the 650Ti Boost, which in any case can only compete with the 7850 at best. Get the 7870.

Thanks! How about the mobo? Do you think I will stay in my budget?
