I think Deepcool Frostwin @ 2.6k is not an BAD (it's a Twin Tower) as alternative to CM Hyper 212 EVO.

For non-overclockers, planning to buy a non-K series processors, is H67 mobo recommended or H77? H67 looks more cost-efficient, and H77 seems to be better for future upgrades down the line.

What are your thoughts on this?

As far as pricing is concerned at this point of time, H77 boards are not vfm to suggest IMO.
In H67 chipset department, Intel DH67CL is the best choice.

After giving some thoughts into the matter, I think we should stop suggesting a bit overpriced Z77 boards along with SB-'K' series processors. Z77 boards could be suggested once IB-'K' processors (i.e. 3570K & 3770K) are available in the market. Cause without IB processors, those PCI-E 3.0 lanes would be deactivated anyways.

BMG ftw!!
^ For KB+Mouse, use Logitech MK200 @7K instead of
MS Desktop Wired 600 @7.6K.
This will save 600/-
As a user of MK200, I would have to say, it is a very good combo at that price.
