- 850W is overkill even if you get another GTX 560Ti, this would be more than enough power: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371049

- Crucial M4 is probably faster and more reliable than the Vertex 2 and it costs less.

- That case is pretty expensive, i think you would be better with something a bit cheaper like the HAF 912, HAF 922 or Storm Scout so you can get a GTX 570 or something. Or if you want something quiet, the Fractal Design Define R3 is nice.

- I would get the low profile version of that RAM so you can install a CPU cooler in future, that RAM won't fit under most coolers.

@ jmsellars

How are RAM and CPU Cooler related? I've read somewhere that 1.65V rams burn SB processors.

Processor: Intel Core i5 2500K $220
HSF: CoolerMaster Hyper 212+ $30
Mobo: Asrock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3 ATX $130
RAM: Gskill RipjawsX 2x4GB 1.5V CAS9 1600Mhz $55
GPU: HIS IceQ Turbo H697QT2G2M Radeon HD 6970 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 - $370
HDD: Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB 7200rpm $60
SSD : Corsair Force Series 3 60GB 2.5" Solid State Drive $80
DVD: LG DVD R/W $20
PSU : CORSAIR Enthusiast Series TX750 V2 - $110
Case : COOLER MASTER HAF 922 BLUE RC-922M ATX Mid Tower : $100

Total : $1175

Vengeance is 1.5v and it is tall, it means it won't physically fit under a lot of CPU coolers.

Heres a super quiet high performance build:

i5-2500k - $219.99
8GB Corsair Vengeance LP - $52.99
ASRock Z68 Extreme3 - $124.99
MSI Twin Frozr III GTX 570 (Fermi) - $369.99 EDIT: (If you can find the Gainward Phantom version it may be quieter and cheaper.)
Crucial M4 64GB - $89.99
Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB - $59.99
Antec P183 - $139.99
Antec CP-850 850W - $129.99
Samsung DVD Burner - $19.99

$1207.91 before shipping (no rebates)

Slightly over the budget but should be extremely quiet and more powerful then your original build.

CPU Cooler is on top of the processor, how can it block the placement of RAMs?

 

[jmsellars1]

Sorry ive been away a few days, internet was cut off.

Bigger coolers such as the 212+ with the 120mm fan are quite wide and the RAM slots are usually right next to the CPU.

 

[008Rohit]

OK, got it.
