if you won't oc there's no point in getting a z87 motherboard instead get asus b85m-g at 6.5k.

For cpu if you can't' find i5 4570s get i5 4570 at 13.5k.

Ram : 2x 4gb Kingston 1600 Hyperx Blu @ 4.6k

Psu : seasonic s12ii @ 4k

Cabinet : Nzxt Gamma @ 2k

And for gpu you will get better options than hd7850/gtx660 within upcoming 6 months ;) :)

don't know how did I miss the july bios update by several manufacturers for H87 and B85 motherboards .. anyway, thanks for posting.
 
RAID is setting up multiple disks as one single array either for performance (RAID 0) or data redundancy (RAID 1). If you have to ask, you probably won't need it :)

SRT is just using an SSD as a cache. You might as well use the SSD as your main drive instead of using it as just a cache.

Actually I didn't post for the overclocking bit. Thats anyway minor since Intel plans to block it. Plus most B85 motherboards may not have the necessary VRM overhead to handle overclocking, so its still better to stick to a Z87 board if your priority is overclocking.
