Well to start off i have really no clue what i want , i read few topics here and there but nose of them helped me .
I want a pc with nvidia gtx 560ti graphic card (--- this is all i know c':
I found one intresting/confusing thing when i was doing my "research" that there are many brands who have a graphic card called gtx560ti, this is confusing to me >.>
for example , msi ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... )
,gigabyte ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... ) just to name a few. All of them have graphic card named geforce gtx560 ti ..what the.. #$%@ :non: 

I wanna build a pc with i5 2500k processor , 1tb hdd , 4 gb ram, these are some of the things i am sure about .

Please suggest me a motherboard ( i heard ASRock Z68 Extreme3 is nice, should i go for this , as i am gonna buy this pc tomorrow :] )

Or suggest me a good graphic card tht is cheaper than the one i mentioned above , and that can play all the lasest game like bf3 etc :]]

i have less than 12 hours now to buy my new rig c':

Nvidia makes the reference models. The other companies build the gpu's according to the reference model and put their own little spin on them. Just use my build in my signature and add in a 1TB HDD.

It really doesn't matter but the Twin Frozr is quieter and better. Also the PSU price seems to have gone up so get this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... . Also the Hyper 212+ is a CPU cooler and if you are going to overclock your cpu (which is extremely recommended with an i5 2500k), you're going to need it.

FYI: There are (at least) three distinct versions of the GTX 560 ti. There is the GTX 560 ti (OEM), the GTX 560 ti, and the GTX 560 ti-448. They have different prices, performance, and power characteristics. The OEM version is the cheapest with 352 cores and a 210W TDP; the normal version is 384 cores and a 170W TDP; and the 560 ti-448 has 448 cores and a 210W TDP.

I think you probably want the 384 core version, so just make sure you see that number somewhere in the specs :) .
