Get a Z77 based motherboard with the processor and you're good to go. Also, what's your budget? I may be able to come up with a better build.

Do you need an OS? Do you need a monitor? Are there any parts that you already have and do not need?

Maybe about $100 more than this, but not any more. Also, no to the other Q's
Thanks!

And can you recommend a z77 processor about the same price?

Oops, forgot to ask one more question. Do you plan to overclock your CPU?

Also, I'm not sure what your original budget was. I can't really add up all the parts' prices since i don't know where you're going to be purchasing these parts.

Not sure what your exact budget is, but try this...

If it's too much, just let me know and I'll revise it. Also, if you don't plan on overclocking, let me know. I can save you even more money. Although, if you can afford it, having the option to overclock is a definite plus. Do you plan on gaming with this build? If so, what kind of games do you plan on playing?
