i would gt a z77 board for a 3770k cpu, z77 was designed for Ivy bridge. Are you going to SLI, Crossfire? if not 850w is a little much but you should be fine, I'd go with Seasonic, OCZ, Corsair, PC power and cooling, those are the better of the PSU's out there.

If your not going to Xfir/SLI, the ASRock z77 extreem4 is a great board, with a Ivy CPU, you will have PCIe 3.0 which the 680 is built on, plenty of Sata3 etc. I had minor Issues putting the Maximus Gene-z/gen3 z68 with a i5-3570k, I had to do a bios update for it to see the Ivy CPU. Wasnt to bad, but was a little tricky.

I agree with Metlcub to grab a Z77 board like the ASRock Extreme 4.

In your build you didn't specify 3770k were you getting the 'K' version or just the normal 3770 that won't overclock?

I'm also not sure on that power supply, the list that Metlcub gave would all be good. 850W would be plenty should you decide to do multi-GPU later on.

You are looking good so far with the build although I would follow the suggestions above about the Extreme4 and the 3770k discrepancy. I will also ask that you take the time to answer these questions (thanks to Knufire for his usual list):

Hey, welcome to OCF!

When trying to recommend a build to you, there's some information that's extremely helpful for us to know. If you could answer these few short questions, we'd be happy to help!

• What are you planning to do with this compuer? Please be as specfic as possible.

• What is your budget?
  
  1. Does this include a copy of Windows?
  2. Does this include peripheals (a keyboard, monitor, mouse, speakers, etc.)?
• Are you from the United States or a different country? Are you ordering from your own country or from across borders?
  
  1. Wherever you may be from, does the store that you are planning to order from have a website? It's okay if it isn't in English, we can manage.
  2. If you are from the United States, do you live nearby a Microcenter?

• Do you have any specific requests with the build?
  
  1. Do you plan on overclocking? If yes, do you have a specific goal in mind?
  2. Would you prefer the build to be particularly small?
  3. Would you prefer the build to be particularly quiet?
  4. In general, do you prefer this to be a computer that you can spend money on now and let it rest, or a box built for continuous upgrading?
  5. Do you ever plan on utilizing NVIDIA's SLI or AMD's CrossfireX technologies? These features, with a compatible motherboard, allow a user to link multiple identical graphic cards together for added performance. In real world terms, this lets you buy a second identical graphics card down the line as a relatively cheap and easy way to gain a fairly large boost in performance. However, this requires buying a SLI/CFX compatible motherboard and PSU now, which may result in slightly higher initial cost.

Once again, thank you in advance for taking the time to answer these, and I hope you enjoy your stay at OCF!

Not, ALL Silver Power's are manufactured by Seasonic. In their SP-400/600 etc line they use Enhance and Solytech. But yes their SP-SS and SP-S lines are manufactured by Seasonic.
