Everything will work. But, what are you going to be doing with it? If gaming get an K model 3570 over the 3770.
Case is on the steep end--a Fractal R4 or Carbide 500R would save some money and are excellent cases.
Many on here hate on CoolerMaster PSUs - recommend XFX, Seasonic, Corsair. Also, you don't need to spring for a Gold rating (Bronze is fine) unless you live in a place where electricity is much higher than the average or you plan to run it under load for 8+ hours a day.
Better off with a 7870XT/LE if you can find one.

Yeah sorry about that, but the links in the description only lead to the website rather than the products itself.

Thank you so much! And I'm going to be gaming possibly 8+ hours so should I go for gold, or if there is such a thing silver powerbox?

80 Plus, bronze, silver, gold, and platinum are just how efficient the PSUs are at optimal load. Basically, you can save a few cents on your power bill each time you go on a 8+ hour bender. It is rather difficult to estimate how much power you will use, where you will hit your efficiency peak on your PSU, and how much electricity you will actually save. However, the higher the rating of the PSu generally means it has better components inside of it, and therefore it SHOULD last longer. Really though, it comes down to how much money you want to spend. Bronze is probably the sweet spot for most people.
