Agreed with the CPU, you did say that you use Cinema 4D and Sony Vegas, so a Intel processor would be better

The 3450K doesn't exist (you linked to an article about the 3570K). The 3450 was just a bread and butter Ivy i5 which wasn't unlocked.
If you can afford it, I'd get the newer i5 4670K and a Z87 motherboard but if you can't afford it then the 3570K and Z77 setup is still very good.

A 3570k with an H61 motherboard? I mean, you write that it's a '3450K', which does not exist, but you link a 3570K.
Either way, don't buy an H61 motherboard and a 'K' CPU. P67/Z68/Z75/Z77 + 'K' CPU.
Intel i5-3470 3.2GHz: $190 would be a fitting match for a non-overclockable Sandy/Ivy Bridge build.
But you can get i5-4430 for $190 as well, so why not go newest tech available? The Haswell chipset is much better, in regards to RAM, SATA ports and such.
I already said that I will use these programs for minimum, most important is that I could play games on ultra/very good settings
Thanks for both answers, but all intel cores that you offered, has a lot smaller performance than AMD chip (http://www.cpubenchmark.net/high_end_cpus.html) and it costs a lot more than FX-8320, whatsoever I found that FX-8320 is really hot and default cooler makes a lot of noise, but it performs better, so maybe I could change CPU cooler to something more silent but more powerful ? Waiting for answer
About motherboard, again GA-990XA-UD3 costs less and I don't really find a lot of difference that Z77 would be better, so I would want to ask why is it better than GA-990XA-UD3 ?
Just a point, I probably won't overclock
Thanks for answers, waiting for new ones
?
Which motherboard did you choose for Intel? For the i5 3570K, you need a Z77 board. For the i5 4670K, you need a Z87 board. You can get lower-end chipsets but since you can get affordable Z77 and Z87 chipsets you may as well get those.
Obviously you can't use a 970 or 990 board with the i5, because those boards are for AMD only.
And the Seagate hard drive is fine. 2TB and $100. It's good.

1)I want i5 4670K and Z87 (I got like 10 various z87 after search, but I can afford only this one, is it ok ? http://www.skytech.lt/z87-pro4-asrock-z87-pro4-z87-dualddr31600-sata3-gblan-raid-atx-p-150490.html)2) and about the HDD, someone said it can get too loud... So I'm kinda scared... Waiting for answer
P.S I decided to get MSI gtx 770 lighting, but what's about all the noise levels... ? I know that newer cards can be noisy, but 40+ db... (http://legitreviews.com/images/reviews/2202/noise.png), is it true ?

The link for the motherboard doesn't work. What is the motherboard - can you just give me a model number?
I don't think the Seagate hard drive will be particularly loud. It is true that hard drives make noise, of course they do, but I think you are getting just a little hung up about noise now. I reckon if you put your PC on the floor underneath your desk you probably won't even be able to hear your hard drive. If you are really THAT concerned about noise though, then go and get an SSD, but I know you said you weren't going to do that.
And yeah, of course graphics cards makes noise too, but again, I think you're getting a bit hung up about it. Some cards have better cooling than others which will be quieter than than the reference coolers, so if I were you I'd get a card with aftermarket cooling because they tend to be quieter.

Oh sorry failed with link here it is http://www.skytech.lt/z87-pro4-asrock-z87-pro4-z87-dualddr31600-sata3-gblan-raid-atx-p-150490.html (ASRock Z87 PRO4, Z87, DualDDR3-1600, SATA3, GBLAN, RAID, ATX)
