Hey guys I have built a computer and I want your input on it, feel free to make changes/suggestions if you think I can get better.

Intel i5 3570K
MSI Z77A-G43 Motherboard
8GB RAM
XFX 550w Bronze
MSI GTX 970
Samsung Evo 840 120GB SDD
Seagate 2TB HDD

(I dont know about a case just yet although I was looking at either the Phantek Enthoo Pro or the Fractal Design R5, please if you have any other suggestions make them and I will be really grateful)

I dont really have a set budget also.

Budget and currency? Do you need peripherals? Will you overclock the CPU? 3570k is a last gen CPU, but still good. 970 is a great card, wouldn't change that. Do you need lots of storage? A 1TB HDD would probably suffice if I'm honest.

Why an older CPU/Mobo?
grab an i5 4690K and a Z97 mobo within your price range.
As for case, Enthoo pro is great but mine makes the pc look small due to a regular ATX board, if it was E-ATX it wouldn't be so bad. Define R4, S340, H440 are all good options.

Sorry just to update I already have the CPU, Mobo and the RAM, I was wondering if you could tell me if the other parts would go well and be compatible with my build.

As stated, 3570k is an old CPU, Devil's Canyon would have been wiser, and it's wasted if you're not going to overclock.

What components do you need? What is your budget and currency for the components you still need to purchase? For cases, there are a ton of options;
Fractal Design, Lian-Li, Phanteks and NZXT are my preferred brands. However, Silverstone, Bitfenix, CM, Corsair, EVGA and Rosewill also have some nice cases out.

I have a budget of 160 for a computer case and an SSD.
