last one didn't work oops
For $10 more a 3570k is better. Or you could step up to the 3770k. The Enermax T40 is also cooler than the Hyper 212 while being quieter. It's probably easier to mount too.
You could also save money by going for the cheaper Asus P8Z77-V Pro. Unless you really love the look of the Sabertooth. There's no difference between them other than the thermal armor.

I personally don't think the price difference between a 680 and a 670 is worth it, but if you feel it is, go for it. I'd rather add an SSD like the Samsung 840 instead of choosing a 680 over a 670.
By $500 680, do you mean an Asus or MSI Lightning 2GB, or an EVGA 4GB?
If someone had the time could you please explain to me what an ssd does?
Honestly the build I gave you is as good as it gets for the money. Why anyone would get a 3570k instead of an 8350 for gaming is beyond me.
So thank you guys so much for the input, I think this is going to be the final build/rig

Thanks!
There are just so many things wrong with that build that I want to cry.
Locked PSU on one of the highest-end Z77 unlocked boards, completely non-modular PSU, grossely overpriced GPU, ugly-ass RAM, NO SSD, NO SSD, and the LACK OF SSD. Seriously, for $1500, what you and I listed will destroy this.
This would make WAAY more sense to me, for the budget:

* CPU that OC's for what $7 more??
* Mobo that does just about anything you would need for ~$50 less.
* RAM that are clocked fast and have LOW PROFILE heat spreaders, so you can add just about any aftermarket CPU HSF.
* GPU that makes more sense and performs quite well for the $.
* Added a good sized SSD to keep things snappy and load times to a minimum (not required, but definately a bonus in this budget range).
* Added a good CPU HSF that will last for years and will cool quite well.
* PSU that is good, not that the Corsair selected is bad, but just one that I like that is cheaper than the selected one in the OP build.
* Added a BluRay player/DVD burner, just in case that option is needed later.
Just my 2 cents, but the OP final build just doesn't make sense at all to me.
You guys are doing it all wrong, and it makes me want to cry. An 8350 with a GTX 680 will absolutely crush a 3570k with a GTX 670 AND it costs less. Why people are still recommending the 3570k at this point, i have no idea. Its an aging chip and it doesnt handle newer games (like chrysis 3) as well as the 8350 and the higher priced intels. Seriously guys, get your act together. Im not an AMD fanboy here, but a 3570k makes no sense in this situation. I also recommended one of the best 680's on the market. It has an amazing cooling solution as well as a backplate, so come on. What am i missing here?
Toast,
I'm with you, but the OP seems stuck on Intel. I would go that way too, but I'm just trying to fit the OP's wants into the equation. You have to admit that the OP's build just seemed a bit off for what it is intended for and for the budget, but that is the OP's problem.
Is there some links for the 8350 w/GTX 680 that you would like to reference up against the i5 3570k w/670? I'm just curious.
Well its common knowledge that a 680 is going to outperform a 670. Its a better card. And after watching logan's benchmarks, the 8350 beats the 3570k in almost every game.
it is said the 3570l is better at gaming than the 8350.
Ok toast, after school I will be back and I will try making a build your way :) Juse not used to the way you hook up the amd!
Way off, carnage. In some older games, they are close competitors, but in modern games, like chrysis 3 for example, the 8350 outperforms the 3570k. Its more value for the money. You just have to know what youre doing.
Get Intel, cause its awesome and kewl.

Here are some more options to consider,
Option 1 The ninja http://pcpartpicker.com/p/U3cQ
AMD 8-Core CPU
Dual 7950
Nearly All Black interior so this build will look super stealthy!
($95 in MIR, so take 30 minutes out of your day when you order this and save nearly $100)
Option 2 Fast and red http://pcpartpicker.com/p/U3la
AMD 8-core
Single 7970
Put some money into high end RAM and motherboard (And its all Red/White/Back so it will look amazing!
Option 3 If it nvidia you want then nvidia you'll get http://pcpartpicker.com/p/U3ys
AMD 8-Core
nVidia 680 (EVGA Superclocked with backplate)
Also a very stealthly look!
