Hi,
You may want to consider a gtx 670 since it is cheaper and offers close performance to the GTX 680. Your motherboard supports SLI, if you are planning to add a 2nd gpu you will need to upgrade your psu to at least 750w. If you are not planning to SLI you could downgrade the motherboard to P8Z77-V LX.

I've edited my build, Just wondering is the case I've chosen worth the money compared to some of the cheaper alternatives? I do like Coolermaster cases.

The 690 II is a nice case. If it is for gaming the i5-3570 will be fine for your spec.

Yeah it is for gaming. Will stick with the i5-3570, Thanks for your help again :)

You'd have a fast and powerful gaming rig there if you put a 120GB INTEL® 330 SERIES SSD as your first drive and a 1TB WD CAVIAR BLACK as your second.

Just a thought :)
