We can give more precise suggestions if you answer [thread=80121]some questions[/thread]. But overall:

1. You don't need a 3770k for gaming. Get a 3570k.
2. You probably don't need an 80plus gold 750W PSU. Your system with a 7970 would be hard-pressed to exceed 450W without overclocking. With overclocking, a 550-650W PSU should be sufficient, unless you want to crossfire later.
3. Speaking of which, an H77 board allows neither overclocking nor crossfire. Look for Z77 boards for overclocking.

Your RAM is good, your SSD is good, and your heat sink should be very good if it fits in the case. (It probably will, but I didn't check.)

Can't comment on all ( actually not on most ) but I do have a few comments / thoughts since I've just been GPU shopping and use "big" screens.

Depending on what type of games you play and the monitor you buy ( does it support 2560x1600 - the one u posted doesn't ) i.e u'd run 1920x1200 then ya GPU might be overkill for current scenarios.

http://www.anandtech.com/show/6159/the-geforce-gtx-660-ti-review/10

If you look at that one u'd see what the 9790 pulls in framerates at max settings and 16 AA - if you look at the other games u'd see u in most if not all cases can go w something cheaper/smaller.
Personally I ended up w a Gigabyte Nvidia 660 OC because the OC ed has 2 fans and very good noise vs temp and pretty good performance - Gigabyte also has ATI ed's w that look for Windforce mark on their website ( the ti ed is there in the link but there's also a regular 660 reviewed somewhere on Anandtech ).
ATI or Nvidia? depends on prices in your country and what u feel fits your needs the best --- I go back and forth between them. ( and you can always SLI later on if performance becomes an issue...the GPU will be rather cheap then to pick up a 2nd ed of if the mobo can handle it...did not check! )

Personally I'd also go for a bigger monitor - I have a 27inch HP 2710 - 3 years old and out of stock...but personally I'd rather spend 100 euro less on a GPU ( than overkilling it ) and get more screenspace

Especially if you also need to do autocad, if you program or other cases where screen space is nice. ( unless you go dual monitor ).

oh thanks mate. btw my mistake. the monitor is just for my GF for watch films, it is in the order list but nothign to do with my pc^_^ anyway rly nice info about monitor thanks, i need a new one aswellXD

what about this setup mates? it is better?

or is better with this SSD http://www.e-key.it/prod-ssd-corsai...5-mbs-sata3-cssd-f120gbgt-bk-retail-19834.htm

I was going to make some concrete suggestions, but then e-key.it went down. I would say to spend less on the PSU and case (especially case). You don't need some monstrous full tower for a normal build like this. Maybe something like the Corsair 300R or 400R.

As for the monitor, you might have enough for a 27" 2560x1440 panel. You can certainly get a 27" 1080p panel.

What do you expect :p we are not in America!

btw thanks for your answer. i choose this case cause i wanted to do a big pc. then when i said i won't OC it i had to totally change my setup and yes now i've to change case aswellXD

For the monitor, you gor reason the one i choose is rly bad, i'm going to delete it from the list and going check around on web some, then i will ask for feedback again:p thanks u

Ps: 1)what about RAM? i wanted the 16GB ram g.skill but there are only 4x4GB Ares 1600 999 low profile(i think g.skill is way better than others,true?), or i've to take the Vengeance 16 GB 2x8GB 1600 999. which are the difference between 4x4GB and 2x8GB?
2) About SSD? i'm not loooking at money but at quality. i need a 128GB memory with good performance on games. i think i choose the best one but i need experts feedback:/SSD Samsung 840 Series 128GB Pro Basic 2.5" Lettura 520MB/s Scrittura 390MB/s SATA3 Retail.
