If it's for gaming and photoshop, you should consider buying a new monitor as well! Also you have chosen incompatible motherboard, wrong memory and big psu which you won't need!

 

[aryacooldude]

?????Is the Sabertooth...nt worth it.................

 

[aryacooldude]

big psu fr the reason tht I would be either sli or crossfire feature in future...............

 

[michxymi]

It's a socket 1366 motherboard and you processor works only with socket 1155...

 

[aryacooldude]

Memory.....I left corsair bcoz........G.Skill....is famous..specially..the ripjaws : ) ...........The vengeance...its nt available here....ny good ones.......

superb cmarid...man ur awesome....u pulled out a perfect....rig...but i would ...go with 6 ram slots.....bcoz....i would update 4gb i evry 2 monts......i t is expandable to 32gb but 8gb/slot.....plz suggest ram.....good one i will manage here......isnt i5 2500k good ........... ?

 

[cmadrid]

that website has a VERY limited selection of RAM.. I would suggest getting 2 4gb ram sticks

http://www.theitwares.com/gskill-ripjaws-series-single-stick-240pin-ddr3-sdram-ddr3-1600-12800-desktop-memory-model-f312800cl9s4gbrl-p-607.html

fits the bill I guess, but most websites I'm familiar with offer 8gb kits of 2 sticks that have been tested together

 

[cmadrid]

as far as 6 ram slots goes, the i5 2500k motherboards are dual channel, not triple channel, so you will be limited to 4 slots

 

[mjmjpfaff]

for what you are doing i7 2600k. asrock p67 extreme4. motherboard 16gb ram. haf 922 case. tx750 psu. intel 510 120gb ssd. samung spinpoint f3 1tb. this monitor- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236117&cm_re=asus_23-_-24-236-117-_-Product
