Very similar to what I built in Oct.
I went with
G.SKill Trident X ram as it seemed most people liked it more than equivalent Corsair, but ram is generally ram as long as you aren't OC ing.
I got an ASUS Z87-A MoBo. I didn't need the Wifi, don't buy Radeon and didn't need the extra sata. I also saw a bunch of reviews of people overclocking the shit out of 4770ks on it, so for any modest OC ing I might do it will be more than good enough.
I would recommend some kind of "after market" CPU cooler if you aren't swapping one in from your current build. I went with an H100i and it is super quiet.
For a case I ended up going with the
Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 I got it on a huge sale for like 60$(but would totally pay the asking price for another the next time I build someone a comp). It has loads of room in it for a ton of different fan setups(I have my radiator on the top), it comes with 3
140mm fans and front, top and bottom dust filters(I'm never buying a case w/o dust filters again, saves so much cleaning/hassle). This setup makes almost no noise(stock settings requires very little cooling) but does sound like a jet engine prior to posting :}
As far as GPU's are concerned... The chances you will ever need the performance boost SLI offers is TINY. I'm still running a GTX 560 Ti and I have yet to not run a game smoothly on max settings. I get over 100FPS in Wow during raids with max everything while streaming 1080p videos/TV on my off monitor(not quite the Epeen number of 240fps I got back in BC with my GTX8800...384bit bus back in 06 >.>). Also, if you aren't planning on setting up SLI within a few months of building your comp you will most likely get more performance out of picking up one newer model down the road. I think the only non crazy reason to go SLI with current resolutions is like... Bit Coin "mining".
