I need help with a build

I am planning to build my first desktop and my budget will be around $1300. I need help with a build. 

I would like to have an i5 processor ( my friend was saying this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115233 )

I would also like to have a 770 graphics card(not sure from what company but one that performs and looks nice) 

I would also like to have to NZXT H440, it just looks really nice but I'm not sure whether to get it water cooled with like the H100i or H105, or to just keep it air cooled.

 

With this in mind I will still need a new keyboard and monitor along with windows operation system ( preferably windows 7 unless convinced otherwise)

For watercooling do you want performance or software enhancements?

 

If peformance, go with the H110

If sowftware, go with H100i

 

If a litle bit of both, go with the h105.

 

As for the rest of the build ill see what i can make over at Pc Part picker, be back in a sec

Do you think that this build can work with the white version of the case? I really like the white more than red, to me it looks cleaner :o

Yes...? There's no difference between cases with different colors aside from the color differences itself. At least, there shouldn't because if there is, then that would be stupid if a red case has more drive cages while the white case has more fan mounts.

I meant the coloring of the components, like will it work as well as if it was the red and black case because most of the components are red and black

Then I'm not the person to ask. As long as it's not puke green, neon pink, or shit brown, then I'll use whatever the hell I want and whatever works for me.

 

Anyway, you'd have a black/red interior with a white/black exterior. I don't think it would clash, but it would seem sort of "framed" since the case is an entirely different color.
