The pc I'm writing this with is terribly old and now dying. Thinking about replacing, this is what I've got so far (prices on dollars/local currency):

*i7 3770 ($530/3200), 4770 ($560/3400) or i5 2500 ($330/2000). The price difference is quite steep, I don't really know how much is the difference in performance. Also I don't know the difference between standard and k versions.
*GTX 650 ti boost ($330/2000) or GTX 760 ($500/3000), either one with 2gb gddr5. I'm unsure if the price difference is justified considering noone here cares that much about graphics as long as games run at 30 fps with a good resolution and okay detail. I could go for an ATI in same price range if it's better I guess, but I'm completely lost in regards to those. I'm also kinda confused by seeing the same card by different manufacturers at different prices.
*I'm unsure on whether 8 or 16 gb of ram
*I don't know absolutely anything about mobos. Seems like Z77 ($210/1250) and Z87($230/1400) are the way to go, but dunno about the variations and chipset.
*If there's something to know about PSU and cases, besides making sure they are adequate for the mobo, I don't know that either. I guess I'd like to keep the noise down whithin a nice price.

On the mobo, are cheaper ones like P8Z77-m, Pro3 and d3h good or should I go for more expensive ones like Extreme 4 and Sabertooth? I name those because they are the most readily available around here.

those USD estimates are about double what they should be in most cases. I'm assuming you converted from your local currency rather than actually looking up prices in America? If so ... ouch, I'm not sure at the extent to which I can recommend deal hunting.


Yeah, they are converted directly. Recently checked, and importing wouldn't save enough money to warrant the bother.
