• Building a gaming PC for around 850€ ($1100)

I have most of the parts picked out already, and would like to know if they're good choices, and if there are cheaper alternatives for what I currently have. [url]http://pcpartpicker.com/p/jgB3[/url] I'm in Europe (More specifically, Finland). Also, I'm still kinda out looking for a suitable case. I've been looking at the Corsair Obsidian series, though the price is kinda holding me back (About 170€ for the cheapest). If anyone knows of cases with similar features (Good cable management, airflow etc.) in the low 100€ range, I'd greatly appreciate the help. Oh, and a separate monitor won't most likely be necessary, since I have a Mirai 22" LCD TV that has computer input slots. That is, unless I can get a really good deal on a monitor of similar size.
What website/store are you buying from in Finland?
Mainly from verkkokauppa.com and tietokonekauppa.fi, possibly jimms.fi as well.
Some updates: Changed the mobo to a cheaper H77, downgraded PSU to 500W, and settled on a Corsair Carbide (About 128€) for the case. Would still like some input and comments on the build though.

(well not as well as the 3570K and z77.) Good choice on the asrock extreme 4 annyway. SSD: Get a Crucial m4, samsung or Intel ssd. They seem to be the only ones that are not fucking up atm. HDD: Do you really need 2tb? GPU: Yup good model (dual fan) and brand. PSU: Yup good brand. Looks good overall.

[quote]HDD: Do you really need 2tb?[/quote] Since I was planning to put all my games as well as music on it, I thought I should have plenty of space available (And HDD space is not really that expensive anymore anyway). Though I guess that just 1tb could be adequate in the end.

Falcon guide is frequently out of date, and is excessively processor heavy. Only use it for very very basic guidelines.
