That's it

I won't suggest IB as IDK when it will release in Canada. 1866 MHz nets you no improvements and is just a waste of $. Either get 1333 MHz or 1600 MHz because 1866 sees no real-world advantage. You forgot the cooler. I have the Hyper 212 EVO and it keeps my temps down; however, it is kind of a pain to install.

Excilent choice but needs improvent.

If ib releases then get it or be happy with sb.

Asrock z77 extreme4

newer better and cheaper motherboard.

Corsair vengence low profile 2 x 4 gb 1600mhz ddr3

1866 is overkill and your pc will default your ram frequency to 1600 or 1333 or 1066.

Pc power and cooling silencer 750w 80+ silver.

Cheap better psu for a deal.

Sapphire hd 7870 ghz edition

it is the best bang for buck gpu for now. and beats gtx 580 in each and every way.

Also checkout the corsair carbide 500r white and cm storm sniper.

Also dont forget to add cpu cooler.

Cm hyper 212 evo can oc i5 2500k upto 4.5ghz is all you needed and give best bang for buck performance cpu cooler.
