Hi guys,
I'm currently trying to build my first pc. I'll be using it for upcoming games like BF3 & Guild Wars 2.
My budget is around 1.5k, this is mainly for the cpu only.
I've come up with the following components, do advise on what i can rectify. Thanks!

- NZXT PHANTOM USB 3.0

Motherboard + Processor
- GIGABYTE Z68XP-UD3-B3 (i7 2600)

Power Supply
- SEASONIC X SERIES 760W

Graphic Card
- NVIDIA PALIT GTX 560 TI 1GB SONIC DDR5

Ram
- PC3-12800/1600MHZ G.SKILL RIPJAWS-X 2GBX2PCS (4GB)(CL9)

Internal Hard Drive
- SEAGATE 1TB 32MB SATA 3

Internal DVD Drive
- SONY 24X DVD-RW SATA BOX

You want the i7-2600K version not i7-2600. Also, I would recommend getting 8GB of RAM since it's relatively cheap and a lot more future proof. What resolution are you playing at? A single GTX 560 Ti won't be able to run BF3 on ultra at 1080p comfortably, maybe medium-high.
