If anyone wants a monster build for over $1,200, just tell me your budget.

The fact that you are using a z77 board with a 3220 is proof that this list isn't very thought out. Use a B75-P45 from MSI and a Core 3000 and you can use the savings for upgrading other parts.

Also, the fact that one would even think about a i7 for a LGA 1155 build is a little peculiar. i5-3570K does the job well.

The overpriced mobos in the higher range are very well, overpriced. The Z77 Extreme 4 will do the job fine.
