Best Value Gaming Rig?

[MattFromElkford]

Ive decided to take the plunge and build my own PC. But first, I'd like to get a little feedback. Now bear in mind I'm Canadian so the prices may seem a little high.

I went with a barebones kit from Tigerdirect.ca that covers all the bases except an OS and GPU.

The contents of the barebones kit are as follows:

-MSI Z77A-G41 Intel 7 Series Z77 Motherboard - ATX, LGA 1155, Intel Z77 Chipset, 2133(OC) DDR3, SATA 6 Gb/s, RAID, 8-CH Audio, Gigabit LAN, USB 3.0, Crossfire Ready (Z77A-G41)

-Intel Core i5-3570K BX806237i53570K Processor - Quad Core, 6MB L3 Cache, 3.40GHz (3.80GHz Max Turbo), Socket H2 (LGA1155), 77W, Fan, Unlocked, Retail

-Patriot Viper Xtreme 4GB Desktop Memory Module - DDR3, 1600MHz, PC3-12800, CL 11, 1.5V (PX34G1600C11) X 2

-WD Blue 1TB Desktop Hard Drive - Designed for everyday computing - 3.5", SATA 6Gb/s, 7200RPM, 64MB Cache - WD10EZEX

-LG 24X DVD Burner - M-Disc Support, Silent, Jamless Play, SATA Interface, 24x DVD-ROM Transfer Rate, 48x CD-ROM Transfer Rate (GH24NS95B)

-Kingwin ABT-650MM Maximum Series ATX Power Supply - 650W, 120mm Fan, Single +12V Rail

-ULTRA XBlaster Pro U12-42350 Mid-Tower Case - ATX/MicroATX, 3 x 5.25" Drive Bays, 7 x 3.5" Drive Bays, 7 Expansion Slots, 2 x USB 2.0 & 3.0 Ports, 2 x Audio Ports, 1 x Rear Fan

This is ~= 490$ after the rebate.

Now for video cards, I was looking at this guy:

PowerColor Radeon HD 7770 Video Card - 1GB GDDR5

And my question about that video card and rig is, could I set up two of those cards with the mobo in question?

And is this rig compatible/good at all?

Thanks guys!

You caN do two cards with the mb but you end up with only one slot for wifi or sound card. If they have other mb look for a full size one or use one high end gpu.

Seeing as how im new at this.. I need a soundcard? The mobo doesnt have that built in? And will any pci direct wifi card work?

When I said sound card,I was talking if you as a gamer were going to put in a card that may sound better to people then teheran onboard chipset.
With wifi card most people use 18 ausu wifi card or USB dongle.
