Hi guys, just wanted to get a few opinions on an ongoing build. I will be upgrading my motherboard to a gigagbyte z77x-UD5H. I currently have a i5 2400 and was wondering if it'd be worth it in the long run to upgrade it to a 3750k. I'm still undecided on a case, although I'm liking the corsair 500R. If I do end up getting a 3570k I'll buy a h100 too as I will definitely be overclocking.

At the moment I have a msi H61M-E33 motherboard which is very basic but does the job for now but I want to upgrade my whole system. I currently have a gigabyte windforce gtx 670, coolermaster 430 elite case (which I like but there's no cable management :/), coolermaster gx 650w psu, 8gb ram @1333mhz, 1tb hdd 7200rpm. I've got a 256gb samsung 830 ssd on it's way.

So what my system should look like when I'm done:

Gigabyte z77x-UD5H
i5 3570k
Corsair h100
8gb ram
gigabyte gtx 670
256gb ssd
1tb hdd
650w psu
Corsair 500R

What do you guys think? Would you change anything at all?
 
That looks great. Go for the 3570K if you can afford it, overclocking is good fun and you can get some great performance. The UD5H is a very very nice board too.
