Fairly certain you mean a GTX 660 TI, but yeah that'd work for now.

This. Liquid cooling that would be a total waste.
Get 8GB of RAM and upgrade the card. Hard to say what to without you providing a budget though.

It's easier if you provide a budget, and people find you a build to suit that budget.

These are the US prices on newegg, without coupons and combos.
CPU from above 210
mobo from above 125
GPU 250 ($40 less if you go with a 7870 instead of a 660Ti)
RAM 45
Western Digital Caviar Black HD 105
DVD drive 15
Case 60 (the AZZA case in the OP is rated pretty poorly, in the same price range you can get some nice Antec Cases, like a 300 Illusion. I have done a couple builds with those and they are great for the price and come with 4 nice fans already installed.)
Windows 100
Also, you don't have a PSU listed in the OP. Before the PSU you are looking at about $910 for those parts if you built yourself, less whatever you can do in coupons and combos. When I build a PC I can save $100 or more on combos and coupons normally. If you piece those parts out through someone like CyberpowerPC and get a prebuilt shipped to you expect to spend a couple hundred more.

I don't know that liquid cooling will be necessary in it, if it is an added cost just drop it, a few decent fans and a good CPU cooler (even the stock one if you aren't planning on overclocking) and you should be fine. Also, RAM is pretty cheap so you may just want to bump right up to 8GB rather than waste 2 slots on a pair of 2GB sticks.
EDIT: basically, what Brotbaum said, he beat me by a minute.

I would get a SSD and wont use windows8. 8GB ram, no watercooling, and slightly better graphicscard. Then its fine.

SSD isn't really necessary unless the budget permits. I'd certainly spend more money on a better graphics card here, before getting an SSD.

Definitely, you need more RAM. Actually, with 2x4GB you will have them working in dual channel, which is a lil better.

The difference between an i5 3570 and an i5 3570k is literally £10 and it's worth it for the option in my opinion.

There you go, equates to pretty much dead on $1200 and has 8GB of RAM and a much better graphics card. Depending on the price of the parts where you are, you can easily drop the graphics card to a 670 instead to save a little money and still have awesome performance.
The case is obviously down to personal preference, but as someone said below the case you listed has some fairly poor reviews.

That is a good build. Personally, I would probably get 8GB of 1600 Ripjaw RAM (in combo with a motherboard) and the Antec 300 Illusion through newegg for the same prices to keep from having to order from so many different places. The Antec also has an active promo code and rebate on it at the moment.
Any way you look at it that thing will play high end games for a good long time.

Yeah I didn't put a massive amount of time into it and so if that combo works out as good/better and that case suits OP's tastes more then that works too.
Either way, agreed it'll be fine for a while.

H, im thinking about buying a new computer for gaming, I found one with this specs:
Intel® Core™ i5-3570K Processor
ASUS P8Z77-V LX Motherboard
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB
Liquid CPU Cooling System
4 GB DDR3-1600 Memory Module
1 TB 7200rpm SATA-II Hard Drive
24X Dual Format DVD±R/RW Combo
Windows 8
AZZA Armour Gaming Case Blue
Do you think it's enough to play today's games (AC3, FC3, etc...)
What price do you think build it will cost?
What should improve?
