Ivy Bridge Build - I need help!

[koolsair]

If Haswell's not coming out anytime before July, I'm going with this, or if other people like you advice not to.

Cooler Master HAF X
Intel Core i7-3770K (maybe clocked on 4.5GHz)
ASRock Z77 Extreme 6
Noctua NH-D14
Kingston HyperX Genesis 16GB (1866MHz)
Gigabyte GTX 680 WindForce 3X (OC)
OCZ Vertex 4 128GB
Seagate Barracuda 2TB 7200rpm
Asus 24x DVD Burner
Cooler Master GX750w (i don't want modular)
LG IPS234v 23" ips led
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

Yes, I know, I know. There are better components, so that's why I'm asking for advice. I'm bad at choosing components. Suggest me better builds, just don't change the HAF X and the 3770K.

And do you think I should just wait for Haswell?

The build looks really good. But I would change the 680 to a Gigabyte 670. Even when over clocking both cards, there's not much of a difference. Even an OC Giagabyte 670 can beat the OC Gigabyte 680 in most of the games. You get pretty much the same performance for $100 less.

go with a samsung 830 or 840 ssd instead of vertex 4, you will never go wrong, especially since the 830s are cheaper now.

For pure gaming 3570k would be just fine, just saying

I take the CM 812 TPC over the Noctua (440 cheaper too)

You could get a cheaper mb like the ASUS v LK or gigabyte z77x d3h if you don't need all the extra IO
