What are you using this system for? A few things:

The power supply is of terrible quality. Swap it for a nicer XFX, Antec, Corsair, or Seasonic.

Also, you can get a better priced DVD writer than that.

 

[Fenring]

I will be using it for gaming for the most part.

So do you think these would be better choices?

XFX 650W 80 PLUS Bronze Certified ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply $79.99 Amazon

Optical Drive
Lite-On iHAS124-04 DVD/CD Writer $17.89

why get the i7 2600k if you'll be using a z77 instead get the i5 3570k much less with the old SB procie its like $214.99. then make a 1TB HDD.
