Hey guys, I could use some help regarding my rig and choosing the parts. Also, some help regarding whether to buy it from would be great too!

What I'm looking at currently :

CPU Intel Core i5-3570K
CPU Cooler Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
Motherboard ASRock Z77 Extreme6 ATX LGA1155 Motherboard
Memory CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB)
Storage SSD 128 GB Samsung MZ-7PC128B/WW
Storage HDD 1TB Western Digital WD10EZEX
Video Card MSI N670 PE 2GD5/OC
Case Cooler Master Storm Enforcer
Power Supply SeaSonic M12II 620 Bronze
Optical Drive Asus DRW-24B3ST/BLK/G/AS
Operating System Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 (OEM) (64-bit)
Monitor Asus VH236H/ ?($200)
Keyboard ? ($20 Max)
Mouse ? ($20 Max)
Speakers ? ($40 Max)
Case Fan Noctua NF-P12-1300

Usage
- Gaming Purposes like Crysis 3 etc.
- Hopefully usable for games for the next 3 years on High
- Don't overheat and die on me. :D

Budget
- ~$1800 ( Inclusive of peripherals and Monitor )
- Can stretch a bit ($150) if neccessary

What I know
- Zilch, so recommending a shop that can assemble would be great!

Do you intend to overclock?

Hello. If not having the ability to overclock would reduce the cost of the parts to keep my rig under the budget yet still maintain the ability to play the games for the upcoming 2 years on high quality I would gladly do without it. Thank you for quick reply.

Also, cheaper is better.
