I want to build a new desk top. I can get the i5-3570k at a cheap price(internal price).
so I am asking a build with i5-3570k. The budget is 600$ without cpu. Thanks a lot.
Happy new year. it is my build below, welcome to attack my old idea and correct something I missed

Gigabyte GA-Z77-D3H
Core i5 3570k @
Antec Kuhler h2o 620 28 Degrees C
8 GB DDR3-1600 PC3-12800 Corsair XMS-3 4x2gb
1 T wD black
Cooler Master elite 430 Case 5x120mm Case Fans
Corsair CX-600 Power Supply
Asus HD 6770
 
i dont really know what you mean. if you can pick up the i5 3570k for cheaper, sure it can work, but then you would have to pay for a hyper 212 evo (120mm thin radiator liquid cooling systems suck) and a decent z77 chipset board to make use of a the k chip. otherwise there is no reason to get a i5 3570k

can you just suggest me a build with i5-3570k, budget is 600$ excluding the cpu. Right now I have a free i5-3570k. I don't need too expensive Graphics card. 6770 or 7770 is enough for me to play diablo3.

gaming is not my main use for PC. and I already have the i5 3570k, as you said I want to max out the i5-3570k. but I don't really need a very decent graphics card

This will get you high-ultra settings in most games out there...

If you want to lower the price some more, you can give the Sapphire 7870 a shot. Be warned, some people have had issues with this particular card. I'm fairly certain the issue has been resolved by now; however, if you would like to have that extra reliablity you can just go with the Gigabyte HD 7870.

what do you mean by Gigabyte? you mean replace the mother board or video card.
Can I just replace the 7870 to 7770 and spend more money on other parts to get more reliability? how about Samsung 30 nm Green PC3-12800 Low Profile 1.35 V DDR3, some one says it is better to overlock.

You don't need to overclock your RAM. The performance increase will be insignificant.

And I was referring to the Gigabyte HD 7870 GPU. The Sapphire GPU should be just fine though.

I would just go with the build I or TheBigTroll recommended above. These builds are far faster in games than any build that has a HD 7770.

Diablo 3 is entirely about the graphics card. IMHO, even if you want to utterly cheap out on the graphics, the lowest new card you should buy is the 7850 2GB. That's rock bottom, or you're going to be missing out on some of the effects and smoothness at highest settings.

So start with a 7850 2GB (not 1GB), and then work from there. If you must increase your budget slightly, then do so. The 7770 will play D3, but it will lag and stutter on some scenes on highest settings. That's all there is to it. I also approve of the Antec 620, as it's better than any air cooler, and quieter, and it can often be found on special for cheap (like ~$50). I have this cooler, and it's great for most CPUs (my current FX-8350 will need a heavier duty water cooler, but that 3570K will be fine with the 620). I also approve of the Gigabyte motherboard, the 1GB WD Black HD, and the corsair power supply!

Excuse me , what is low profile? is MSI Z77A-G41 ATX LGA1155 Motherboard reliable?
Another guy suggest not buy MSI, purchase bGA or AsRock. Can you tell me more about it? I am worried about the reliability

MSI is a great company. Their motherboards are highly reliable. I would suggest this motherboard. It's great for your needs and is only $85.

ASRock Z75 PRO3

This is low profile RAM...
