Can I have some advice on this build?

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post about this. In case it isn't, my apologies, please do remove the thread.

Well, getting down to matters, I have a build in mind and the wallet ready to do so... in a month or so :p
Here,
mobo: ASRock Z77 Pro4 Motherboard
cpu: Intel Core i5 3550
case: Corsair 400R Mid Tower Cabinet
ram: Corsair Vengeance DDR3 4 GB x2
hdd: WD Caviar Green 1 TB
psu: Corsair CMPSU-650TXV2UK 650 Watts PSU
gpu: Asus gtx660ti
cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO

I really wanted some advice on the matter of the PSU. I went through the ThermalTake's PSU calculaor (Thermaltake Power Supply Calculator) and after checking out quite some reviews, I picked out the corsair enthusiast 650W. Will that work right for this config?

And about the case... will the cpu cooler fit right in it?

I don't plan to overclock either cpu/gpu. So, should I pick a H77 over a Z77? Is there any distinct advantage of the Z77 for a non-overclocker? (The cost difference isn't staggering either)

Finally, my most concerning question - What UPS would be right? considering the PSU is a 650W, shouldn't I have to pick a 650W+ UPS... Would this - APC Back UPS 1500 work? Or do I really need something more? I have never dealt with UPS' before... my ignorance is vast.

Please, Advise.

well well welll........... if u dont overclock grab an ASRock H77 Pro4/MVP Motherboard and u can save money on it and get a sapphire ati radeon 7950 3 gb card .........
for the psu i can say its good rather not the best best cause if u du a Xfire on this rig in future it cant handle but for now its pretty good better go for corsair gs 800 for ~7.5k
and yes the case is the best out there u cant **** the whole universe with it and it can fit ur cooler and also the corsair h100 cooler too and yes ups will handle it all just fantastic but if u plug other than this u will get a problem cause of 800w psu but if u get an 650w its good ...........!!!!!!!!!!!and yes no advantage for Z77 for a non-overclocker
and its just waste of money ..................!!!!!!!!!!

Gigabyte GA-H77M-D3H - Rs 6588 Gigabyte GA-H77M-D3H Motherboard | Motherboard | Flipkart.com

The PSU is adequate.

Not OCing? skip the z77 mobos. If budget is flexible, pick a OC setup (proc+mobo). On the long run, you will be inclined to experiment with Ocing.

Skip the WD green HDD. Pick a WD blue/black or seagate.

IMO, 660 are overpriced. There are other cards with more value.

Depending on budget, I might suggest you pick a noctua rather than the CM 212 evo.

You might be better off making a new thread. The build looks good, I'd suggest you get an after market cooler for your CPU (H212 Evo - Rs. 2000) if you are going to over clock.
