The processor and graphics card are good.

 

The RAM is to much just get 8gb

 

Maybe change the ssd to a samsung 830 or crucial m4

Going to OC?

Cheap Asrock z77 Extreme4 motherboard is a good OC board (8+2+2 power phases). Also has the best integrated sound-card in the market.

For cooler I would go for air, pre-made water coolers arent better than cheaper air coolers (and im using water-cooler). HR-02 Macho is enough for maximum ivy (3570k) overclocks in my experience.

For PSU I would go for XFX 550W or similar.

2x4gb RAM

SSD Samsung 830

GTX670 windforce 3x or DirectCu II. Silent and stay cool.

For soundcard I would go for Asus Xonar DGX or DX.... DX is good for everything, DGX is good especially for headphones (and your wallet).

[FMod]

Definitely change the SSD to Crucial m4. Intel 330 is just a rebranded Sandforce (like in OCZ Agility 3).

 

You're ordering from a retailer that won't let you pick HDD brand? Bad news, all cheap 7200rpm drives are Seagate, and they are cheap for good reasons.

 

Could change CPU cooler to Thermalright Macho HR-02 or NZXT Havik 140 or Scythe Mugen 2, although the one in your config is OK.

 

Seconded on RAM. Get Samsung RAM if you have the choice, it's a head and shoulders and hat above Kingston.
