Cpu/mobo for new build $300-350

[kemo_90]

putting together new rig. have everything on my list but mobo/cpu/hdd
with a $300-350ish limit you guys think i should get a
-$100mobo/250cpu
or
-100cpu/250mobo?
not gonna go halfsies cause then i end up with a ****ty mobo AND cpu
amd is more future proof so if i get a cheaper cpu i can upgrade it at anytime...intel is always changing sockets.
and think for my HDD im getting a WD 1tb black
gpu will be either GTX560TI or GTX570

ASRock Extreme3 Gen3 is $130, i5-2500k is $220. Voilá, total $350.

Go with Finneous. You won't find an AMD set-up to keep up with it. You'll need $30 for a CM 212+ HSF.
That's a $210 HDD. Maybe you could use this SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 HD103SJ 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive $149.99 $7.28 shipping

If you want future proof wait for ivy bridge. They are supposed to be the same price with added USB 3.0 and pci-e 3.0. The 3750k is supposed to be the 2500k replacement with z77 and z75 motherboards replacing z68. Also if you do wait you should also wait for the gtx 660/670.

dont really feel like waiting...i think the setup i have in mind will be fine for a few years. and instead of buying a new hdd im just going to use my black 1tb
