Ok made some changes how is this

Case and PSU are absolute garbage.
Also, the monitor seems a bit overpriced. 5ms, 60hz, 23", and $170? For a TN panel?

As Dark said, that psu/case combo is garbage. Also, I really don't think that a plain 3570 + H77 motherboard are worth $300. Like, at all. You're better off just going for a 3220 + motherboard and using that extra money to make sure you have a good case and power supply. The case and PSU are gonna be the things that will last a while, realistically, so you should make sure they're up to par.

Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

Good for the most part, but I subbed out the motherboard for a better one:

Well, it's better in the sense that Z77 chipsets are able to be overclocked, so you'll have that option down the road.

That PSU is also junk. If you're determined to get a 500w, maybe you can get a CX500 for cheap, but the initial 400w Antec unit would be fine, as would a CX430.(which is probably cheaper than what you have there, and a better unit, though the antec is still better)

Here, I based this off the Asrock Z77 motherboard build.

Neo Eco 520w, USB3.0 case.
For your budget, a GTX660 might be a better fit than a 7870.

Just under budget.

GTX 650 is a pretty bad card.
