Advice on what to buy for new system

Hey guys, I'm going to rebuild a brand new system and wanted to know if you guys had any advice on the different parts to get. I'm building a gaming system but nothing over to expensive. Here is a list of what I'm thinking of getting so far. Any feedback on other parts that can be better at around the same total price would be appreciated. Thank you.

Haven't decided on HD's or case as yet lol
*EDIT* if any part can be replaced with something cheaper that will perform better please let me know

On the Video Card I would go a head and just buy the 2GB version.

EVGA GeForce GTX 560 Ti 2048 MB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 2DVI/Mini-HDMI SLI Ready Graphics Card, 02G-P3-1568-KR

Unless you are going with an SLI video setup, you won't need 750 watts of power on your power supply.

And you won't use 16GB of RAM for a gaming machine, I'd strongly suggest cutting that back to 8GB of RAM.

You may not need a huge CPU cooler unless you plan to overclock. The stock cooler should suffice.

I'll take your advice on the RAM for sure. As for the CPU cooler i read in a couple reviews that the stock cooler wasn't enough and additional cooling was needed. As i don't have AC in my room would the stock cooler be enough?
As for the PSU the EVGA card is what i'm thinking of getting so should i get another PSU?

As for the RAM any thing specific i should get?

The stock cooler is probably OK if you never overclock the CPU. As you mention a 2500k, that suggests that you are considering overclocking.

The V6 isn't expensive as third-party coolers go, but there are cheaper ones that are still highly regarded, like:

Newegg.com - COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 EVO RR-212E-20PK-R2 Continuous Direct Contact 120mm Sleeve CPU Cooler Compatible with latest Intel 2011/1366/1155 and AMD FM1/AM3+

(Hyper 212 EVO).

As regards the PSU, the main harm in getting an oversized one is to your wallet. To go with you graphics card, eVGA recommends at least a 500W PSU, with 30A or more available at +12V. This one may be a decent compromise between price and performance:

(Corsair builder series CX600, 40A at +12V).

heya. Just bought a new rig and spent months researching it.

Your mobo choice and processor choice are great.

i wnet for the Gelid Tranquillo rev 2 cpu cooler. VERY quiet and you will still be able to overclock it to 3.8-4Ghz on that cooler in almost total silence. 25 quid.

I would suggest the crucial ballistix sport 1600Mhz ram. you dont need anything faster for sandybridge and that processor. 2 x 4 gb sticks cost me 32 quid. low profile too so wont hit the fan on the cpu cooler.

The 2gb vid card is not a bad buy but unless you are gaming in stupidly high resolutions then i would not worry too much about it. I game at 1920 x 1200 and I plugged for the GTX 570 in the end for a bit more kick which only gas 1.3 Gb onboard. When playing skyring with that, with the new texture pack they released i git 1.1-1.2 gb. Battlefield 3 may want more. YMMV. The 560ti is a great bang for buck card. concider getting a 2nd later for SLI power!

O grabbed an 850w PSU (corsair AX) becasue i wanted quality and reserves - one day ill grab another GTX 570 and i want enough left to do overclocking and run 3 or 4 HDD's. If you are only having a single GFX card and dont intend to have muchm more in the system then as others have said 550-650 max. Quality not quantity is the rule for PSU's. XFX is another good brand, but ive been corsair all the way for years.

Hope that helps
Are you in the UK or abroad?

Thank you for the response. I'll use the single GTX for now but i plan on getting another later on. As for the PSU I'll definitely change to the 600w. As well as 8GB of RAM, guess 16GB was just overdoing it.

Abroad, I'm from the Caribbean, Trinidad to be exact :)

Would the Hyper 212 EVO fit properly on my Mobo? I'll get the 600W PSU then and save some $ lol
