I think this is good to go,  just want people to double check for me. I will be buying a water cooler in the future to over-clock. Also any suggestions would be appreciated.

Looks good, but why not wait for the new Haswell chips? The Ivy Bridge chips are notorious for having bad tims, *I personally have a i5-3570K as well, and the 1st core compared to the 4th core has a 10 degree difference in temps*

 

If you can squeeze another 60-100 dollars into your budget, a lot of people, including me, would suggest an SSD bootdrive/programs drive.

 

As for your GTX770, are you planning on grabbing a second one down the road? If so, I'd probably suggest getting the 4gb varient. I have the 2gb TF4 GTX670 and I kind of regret not getting a 4gb card so I can upgrade my monitor.

Looks great, but it would be great if you could save up and fit a ssd into your budget.

Looks like a really nice compact build :P One suggestion to make it easier on yourself would be to get a Semi modular/Modular PSU. Or I think the Corsair CX 600W M is the same version of your PSU but it is semi modular. Makes things look cleaner and there aren't as many cables to hide. 

 

The only other upgrade I would suggest would be an SSD if you have the money just for a simple 128GB it is worth the investment Even if its just for your OS and programs like mine is and then use the 1TB drives for your media and games. The SSD really makes your Computer feel all that more premium and you will want to cry the next time you use a computer without a SSD. :p

 

Good luck with the build. Keep us posted with a build log of your build I would be interested to see how it turns out.

Im not really set on a matx build someone suggested to me before so I was just rolling with it for a bit.

Nothing wrong with M-ATX cheaper cases are always a + due to the less material. And if you got to LANS or move your PC around a lot i can tell you now you dont want a FULL TOWER ATX case like i did with the HAF X. Its massive but i still love it :P

I hope to get a second one in the future, but when I do buy all the parts, I will look to see if there is a 4gb card out. But for right now I am on a 1080p monitor.
