hey fellas, lookin to upgrade to an 120gb SSD and an intel CPU, also Z77 motherboard..

No expert on these things I know only the key points about these parts, after few days of research, I know enough to avoid OCZ ssd's, and to go with a Z77 mobo because it's the newest chipset or whatever ?

also, I see the intel i7's are the top of the line cpus, i was gonna get one of the ones in the $350 range, but would you guys recommend any of the cheaper i5 cpu's that could possibly offer similar performance to an i7 after being overclocked a little bit ? no point me spending an extra $100-$150 on an i7 if there's something similar in the i5 lineup

I was thinking if you guys make a good recommendation and I do go with an i5 and overclock, I would then pick up a Corsair H100 liquid cooler as well to keep it nice and cool

thanks, sorry i'm a bit of a noob, appreciate the advice i get
