(Help) Recommendation for gaming rig

My MSI P45 platinum mobo gged. So I guess it is time for a change.

I am hoping to keep my Enermax Naxn 600w PSU and my xfx 6850 gcard.

Any recommendations for mobo, cpu, case and ram? Furthermore, I am looking at a SSD and 1TB hd storage expansion.

My budget is around 800 to 1k.

Thank you!

Suggested Rig

@Maeda_Toshiie

Surfing the net and gaming (dota 2, skyrim, far cry 3). No intention to OC.

@nippp0n

Yup, shall wait for the release of haswell before buying the older components.

I am looking at :
  • gigabyte z77 hd3
  • 3470 cpu
  • Cosair Venegeance 8 gb
  • SSD Samsung 840 120gb
  • 1TB WD Blue

Is it okay?
