    Almost finished build

    So I have a budget between $900 and 1000$ (the lower the better)

    I already put most of the components together so I would like your opinion on them. Also I need a power supply and case.

    Processador Intel i5 3570K 3.40GHz 6MB Skt 1155 Box
    Asus GeForce GTX660 Direct CU II 2GB GDDR5 PCI-E 3.0
    Asus H81M-E SKT 1150
    Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200RPM 64MB SATA III 3.5
    G.SKILL PC3-12800 1600Mhz 8GB Ripjaws CL9 (2x4GB) DDR3

    I thinks the components above are roughly ~$750
    It seems decent but there might be something I overlooked, please tell me if I could replace any of the above for something better and which case and PSU would go well with this build.

    I hope you haven't bought it yet.

    MoBo and CPU are incompatible for the 1st part. Those 5 should not cost $750 together.
    You can wait a bit for the 4690k to come out.

    Case not included, pick one you like.

    You could downgrade the GPU for larger SSD or just to save money, but with decent case this build is about the best you can get for ~$1000.

    Why would you swap in older generation GPU that's worse? Also I'd go for 1866Mhz+ RAM if it only costs couple bucks more. Are you going to overclock? You need aftermarket cooler for that. If you don't plan to overclock, might just as well get non-K series CPU.

    The only reason is that I can get it significantly cheaper so Im only worried if it will work properly. About the cooler I plan on buying it soon.

    Sure it will work fine, though it's a lot weaker than what you'd expect to have for $900 budget.
