Hi everyone, this is going to be my 4th build, but haven't built a rig in years. I wanted to know if all my parts are compatible and what I can do to get the best bang for the buck.

Approximate Purchase Date: 2-4 Weeks

Budget Range: $800-$1200 After Rebates

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming(CoD, SCII, Diablo III, Crysis etc.) Movies/Entertainment

Parts Not Required: Keyboard/Mouse, Monitor, Windows, Speakers, DVD/CD Drives etc..

Preferred Website/Retailers for Parts: Newegg, Micro Center, & Frys

Country of Origin: US California

Parts Preferences: i5 2500K, Asus Mobos and Evga V Cards

Overclocking: Yes/Later

SLI: Yes/Later

Monitor Resolution: 1080p(1920x1080) or 1920x1200

Additional Comments: I like a computer that is good now and also upgradable. CPU and Mobo has already been purchased. I have a temporary Video Card, so I'm willing to wait for the GTX 560 to come out.

Thnx for the input. I didn't know the 560 was coming out so soon. My power supply has enough watts to run 2 560's or even 580's right?
