Building first computer, need advice

Just make sure to browse around Anand's Bench section before you pull the trigger on anything. The parts you have there seem pretty solid. Put any thought into a motherboard?
 
Might want to spend the extra $15 for a i5 2500k if you plan to overclock. You may also want to wait a week or two and see what nvidia releases or pick up a 7870 over that gtx 570.
 
I dont really know much about building computers.. I want to get the pieces together and get a friend who builds them to put it together for me

well.. why not talk with the friend who builds computers for suggestion first?
since you dont know much about computers anyway.
 
OP skipped some stuff. Does that mean he has it already or just forgot to ?
I am gonna help out with a table :

Case : Antec 300 60$
PSU : ???
Mobo : ???
CPU : i5-2500 210$
GPU : EVGA GTX570 340$
RAM : GSkill Ripjaws 8GB 47$
Disk : ???

You are already at 657USD plus shipping at this point.
Do you have the mouse, keyboard and audio out (headphone or speaker) ?
I think the CPU and GPU is way too expensive for a 700USD build.
