I agree with ignatzatsonic on the motherboard. It is a waste of money to buy a K CPU and an H77 motherboard. If you want a K CPU get a Z68 GEN 3 board or a Z77. The 3570K is a stronger CPU than the 2500K, but if you want to overclock it, you will need a better CPU cooler, they run very hot during stress testing. During normal useage they run about the same temps though. As far as cases, Coolermaster HAF cases are nice in that they use large fans that are very quiet and move a lot of air, Corsair makes some good cases but if you want to 'style' with your case, look at the Thermaltake Level 10, if you want to spend that much money. It is true that cases are a matter of taste, but you can find some nice cases that offer both good performance and good looks too, no matter what your taste is.
