Suggestions for build

[sanman298]

1. What YOUR PC will be used for.
Small amount of quality gaming (Starcraft II, BF3), streaming video, gen internet use, some go pro video editing (HD) and picture editing

2. What YOUR budget is.
1000 or so...looking for something that is going to last for a few years with minimal upgrading

3. What country YOU will be buying YOUR parts from.
US
4. IF YOU have a brand preference.
Intel, NVIDIA and I'm partial to ASUS only because that is what Ive always had open to other suggestions as long as quality is there

5. If YOU intend on using any of YOUR current parts, and if so, what those parts are.
Monitor and prob keyboard maybe a new mouse is in order

7. IF YOU plan on overclocking or run the system at default speeds.
Minimal overclocking - would be something new to me so not going to go extreme with it but may play around with it

8. What resolution will you be using?
1920x1080

9. WHEN do you plan to build it?
Soon! My p4 system is a piece....and acting up

10. Do you need to purchase any software to go with the system, such as Windows or Blu Ray playback software?
No

Hardware I am currently looking at is the
i5 3570k IB
EVGA 02G-P4-2678-KR GeForce GTX 670 FTW 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

Everything else is kinda of up in the air...

Suggestions:
Mobo
8 gb of Ram
1 TB of HDD
128 gb SSD for OS & apps
Case? Nothing to fancy and all lit up just something with good cooling and functionality USBs up front etc...
Power supply? 650W?
Cooler? Do i need one if only moderately overclocking this CPU or is a good air cooled case fine?

Open to suggestions on this build as you can see and would like something that is going to last a few years and beable to handle some of the up and coming software...budget is kinda flexible as long as its not way off

Yea kinda figured thats why I am a little flexible on the budget...I would just like some quality parts and am kind of partial to the NVIDIA cards...i guess my main concern is mobo, never had anything other than ASUS before. And making sure my PSU and CPU cooling was sufficient

I've actually heard a lot of good things about that ASRock mobo.

Let's pinch some pennies.

MSI 7950 3GB ($305 AR) definitely a better brand than PowerColor IMO (and at this price, 670 isn't even worth considering)
-$25

Intel 330 120GB SSD ($95 AR), a great choice at this price
-$25

That same Seagate ($78), from NCIX
-$12

Asus DVD drive ($17), a 15x customer award winner.
-$1

Seasonic M12II 520W ($51 AP), no rebate hassle, and the promo has disappeared on the MK III putting it to $70 AR. Both are modular 80+ bronze Seasonics.
-$4

Total = $953 AR + shipping

You could add a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo cooler for overclocking and still be well under $1000 AR.

You busted the budget wide open, but the build looks good to me otherwise.

The main thing that I would change is the GPU to this Gigabyte GTX 670. Since you've picked out a good case, you don't need to get a loud fully-exhausting blower like that EVGA has. The Gigabyte costs less and cools better in a proper case.
