Whether it really matters on any scale (probably not performance, for one) is debatable, but g-skill ripjaws might be cheaper than the kingston memory. Also, no individual prices for components? Madness!

Otherwise make sure the motherboard supports using the CPU's integrated graphics (iirc Z77 does, P67 was the kind that didn't). Yes, I'm way too lazy to research this.

This a laptop or a desktop? If it is a desktop you will most certainly want a GPU as even cheap desktop GPUs will out perform the intel (atleast I think so). Laptops are different as their GPUs are much lower performance even if they are named similarly to a desktop card.
