Make sure you get low profile Vengeance RAM: http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-Profile-PC3-12800-CML8GX3M2A1600C9/dp/B00569K7LM/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1351118719&sr=1-1&keywords=vengeance+RAM+low+profile

And then add a Hyper 212 Evo: http://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-Hyper-212-RR-212E-20PK-R2/dp/B005O65JXI/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1351118773&sr=1-1&keywords=hyper+212+evo

And then that PSU is not that great, get something like this instead: http://www.amazon.com/Seasonic-M12II-520-BRONZE-Supply/dp/B0038T0V8Q/ref=sr_1_5?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1351118810&sr=1-5&keywords=seasonic+s12ii

If you can make it to the Microcenter in Fairfax, VA, you can pick up a i5-3570K and a decent Asrock Z77 motherboard for about $250, which saves you more than $100... In-store only though.

G-unit1111: About the CPU heatsink fan, I'm not planning on OC the CPU in the near future, maybe when my CPU get a little slow in next 2 yrs. I will instal it when I need to OC the CPU. Advice taken for the RAM and PSU. Thank you very much.
bliq: oh it's not to far from my place. $100 cheaper totally worth the trip. Thank you.

If you're not going to overclock then there's no point in purchasing the 3570K. You can drop that to the 3470 and H77 and save money there.
