Hello members, this is my first post here, I hope I'd get some comments.
My future build (I tried to make it as cheap as possible):
CPU: Intel Core i5 2500k
RAM: 2x2GB Corsair Vengeance 1600
MOBO: Gigabyte GA-P67X-UD3-B3
GPU: Gigabyte Radeon HD 5770
PSU: Digital (R) 500W PSU
Chassis: Antec 902

So I bought nearly all of the parts except the MOBO and the Chassis. I want an absolutely cheap p67 motherboard, the antec 902 also seems a good choice but, anything cheaper?
Oh BTW, I'm a student so I ain't got that money, that's why I'm on a freaking budget...

Newegg ofcourse.
The brand name of the PSU is simply - Digital. It is a very good PSU trust me, I had it with my old system, and it is excellent.
Nah I'm not thinking of crossfire, maybe later.
Isn't the p67 chipset the only OCer of the i5 2500k?

You're a life saver.
GIGABYTE GA-Z68A-D3H-B3 is the choice. So far now this is the system:
Intel Core i5 2500k @4GHz
Corsair 4GB (2x2) Dual DDR3
GIGABYTE GA-Z68A-D3H-B3
GIGABYTE Radeon HD 5770
Antec 902
570GB WD (320 Blue caviar + 250GB)
Digital 500W PSU
Thanks for alll of your help.

Not really, I'm not that severe gamer, the 5770 is just fine with me, and besides, I bought it brand new. The case you suggested is a brilliant one, and you just gave me a brilliant idea. I'm gonna get either it or the GAMMA, and save for a blueray drive.
