Looking to upgrade from a laptop to a PC, been doing some browsing on newegg, not necessarily looking for a top of the line, best PC in the world or anything, just something that is mid-high performance level and this is what I came up with. Also, I play LoL SC2, AND MMO's. Just looking to see if I should switch anything up or make sure everything is compatible.
P.S. I'm not too experienced with building computers, but I know the essential basics. Thank you for your time!

What do you think about HP laptops? or can you suggest me a laptop brand?
Sorry I'm not sure what your budget is but give these models a look:
Lenovo Y510p
MSi GE60
Asus N550JV
These all have i7 4700HQ/MQ and a decent GPU like GT 750M or GTX 765M.
All around $1000 USD.

Way too expensive for me 
Dollar is too expensive in Turkey :< i think my budget is around 700$

That would probably make the system more bulky though, at least maybe a basic 15" shell - not really sure there. If somebody told me to pick between a 740m (without very very detailed specs) and integrated graphics on an i5-3xxxU cpu though, i would laugh i3/i5/i7 4xxx instead of 3xxx has significantly improved idle power; if you want to do stuff on desktop, word documents, play videos, skype, whatever, it'll help battery life a lot. On my desktop i find something ridiculous like 80% of the time is spent at very low idle power states for Haswell cpu, but it's much more important on laptop where battery life is limited HP or brands etc; i don't know so much about them. Most of my focus is on the higher end half of desktop systems, as well as random picked up info along the way
I see thanks.

Look at the builds in OP if you didn't already
z87 and CPU with "k" on the end are for overclocking CPU, is that what you want? If so, you need an aftermarket cpu cooler. For OC, my go-to z87 board is the z87x-d3h; aside from that, you'd probably want an SSD in there too as boot drive and for games etc*, and to shave a bit of money from the RAM (8gb of 1600c9 shouldn't cost $85)
* http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00E3W15P0/?tag=pcpapi-20 / http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820147247 - (both $89 now)
Newegg pricing puts high end RAM at basically identical price to cheapest stuff.. ~ http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231666 (if you're getting z87 board, as only z87 can run >1600mhz RAM and cpu oc)

Careful, you want Z87 not Z77 if you're getting a Haswell processor. The socket is LGA 1150, make sure they're compatible. If you're going to overclock, see Cyro's post, if not, you can get decent motherboards in B85 or H81 chipsets.

I'd get a Fractal Design Define R4, Antec P280, Antec P100, Corsair Carbide 330R, Corsair Graphite 230T, etc for not much more / same price. All much better cases. Z77 G41 does not support SLI if that's what you plan on doing with the 650w power supply. If you're not doing SLI then get the Capstone 450w.
I see the logic in the power supply, so I'll go down to 450w since I'm only going to be using a single GPU setup. And I'll take a look at the other cases for sure. The thing about the mobo is, aside from overclocking I have no idea how to use half the features, but if there is a quality issue with the Z77 then I definitely want to upgrade from there. Any suggestions?

It's a different CPU socket "LGA1155" on a Z77 board. The CPU you are looking at is for "LGA1150" socket. That socket is on a Z87 board, or if you don't want to touch overclocking then the H87/H81/B85 boards.
EDIT: I misread and did not see you looking at the 3570k CPU. That's Z77, so that's correct, but you might want to look at the pricing for i5-4670k and Z87, or i5-4670 and a B85 board or something.

What games do you intend to play on this computer? What settings?
Any and everything. He'd like to play on full spec essentially
What do you intend to use the computer for besides gaming?
General use as well as using photoshop lightly and cs5. (But nothing too crazy i don't think)
Do you intend to overclock?
Yes
Do you intend to do SLI / Crossfire?
Eventually but not right out of the gate.
Do you need an operating system?
yes
He says he wants windows 8
Do you need a monitor or any other peripherals and is this part of your budget?
no
If you have any requirements or brand preferences, please specify.
Intel for the most part
What country will you be buying your parts in?
United States
If you have any retailer preferences, please specify.
Not really no.

Right, well the Fractal R4 looks pretty sweet so I'm considering that one. I'm thinking I should scrounge more parts from other retailers since this total price is pretty steep for what I wanted (higher mid range over a top of the line set up) or I'm just a cheap-ass. (http://i.imgur.com/fcDaI1G.jpg) <--cart.
If i was going to not consider overclocking, how much estimated performance drop/price drop would I be looking at if i went for the 4670 haswell and no after market cooler, etc?
|
Ew, $40 for a Hyper 212 variant. And paying $8 extra on extra aftermarket TIM as opposed to the one it ships with. Wait, ow, $110 for Define R4, $240 on i5-4670k, $85 on that RAM (!), uh... wait... ick.
Performance drop depends on game or other application. Frequently it would be negligible or essentially zero. Not so for SC2 and some other games, and maybe less so in the far future after a GPU upgrade if you're keeping the old CPU. You could save over $100 over the above by not overclocking.

Not sure about the prices in Turkey but...here's the link with specs + US price. http://shop.lenovo.com/ca/en/laptops/ideapad/y-series/y410p/?sb=:000001CA:00003BAC:I feel like the lack of information I'm providing you is a personal insult xD. I spent like a whole year looking at gaming notebooks because I wanted to buy one but I had a budget of $2000 so I never looked too seriously at anything under $1000...
WTF It's too expensive here, $1005 :O
thanks for your help :3

Interesting. So going for 4670 and not overclocking, would the cooler it comes with be fine? Apparently it also has pre-applied thermal paste as well, but may not compare to the aforementioned arctic MX4?

From the list of laptops that you provided above, I would say that the SONY SVF1521JSTB would be the best choice.

Yes the stock cooler is fine if you're not overclocking. And yes it comes with pre-applied thermal paste so if you ever want to take it off and clean it, you will want to buy thermal paste separately.
