Grab a 780 TF OC.660Ti Sli can provide faster frame-rates in some games but if you apply more AA 780 will come out ahead.It also comes with no mgpu issues as well.

1. Seasonic much pricey, may be cost $30-$40 more.. correction for XP is Platinum grade, sorry

2. i'll go with Hyper 212x then, at list device QVL recommend Hyper 212 plus

3. ok..but if i have more fund, may be i take 16gb pc2133 or make it 32gb pc 1866 :D ??
thank you very much

Is there a reason you are going for a 3770k over a 4770k for this new build? Prices are usually equal or within $10. Slightly better cpu. New instruction set. Better features on the motherboards.

1.Seasonic may be pricey but we don't change psu often so it will last you a while.

3.If the price delta isn't much then sure.

No. Get the 4770k. I wouldn't get a gen old CPU if there's a substantial discount, perhaps 100$ or more. But for 10$? 4770k for sure. Z87 is a far better platform than Z77 (6 native intel SATA6G alone is awesome) and even if your 4770k has a clockspeed deficit, it matches or beats an Ivy clocked 400-500mhz faster. So with that being the case, Haswell is the only choice.
