This is for gaming? If so drop the ram to 16 gigs, even 8 is better. You will never use 32. With the 200 bucks you save there you can get a good powersupply, or even some peripherals.

I'd recommend getting RAM that is 2x4 instead of 1x8 as it will then be dual channel and therefore should perform quicker. I'd recommend getting a power supply from a reputable manufacturer like corsair, ocz, be quiet or darkpower. I'd change the mobo to an ATX size as you have chosen a micro ATX and a full tower case, which I find quite pointless. and if there's any leftover money get a better graphics card such as a 7850.

Any specific mobo?

1. Get a Hyper 212 over the H50.
2. You need a Z77 or a Z75 chipset motherboard to overclock the i5-3570k.
3. 2x4 is perferred over 1x8 for 8GB RAM setups.
4. HD 7790 isn't very fast, You can get the better GTX 650 Ti Boost/hd 7850 for around the same price.
