I was gonna use my old

Western Digital 200GB 7200RPM SATA IDE 8MB Cache 3.5-inch Hard Drive Mfr P/N WD2000JS-98MHB0 (Caviar SE)

at least for the moment if it wasn't -absolutely- necessary to replace immediately I have an external terabyte +250 GB

and
I'll get whatever RAM is suggested/reasonably price.

going to post my new build next ( kinda rushed the last posting ...had to go on a road trip)
I went AMD due to pricing/heat/socket stability, my current rig is AMD as well.

@MrQZETOL - Yes I'm trying to stay within $6-$800, might try OC later, SC2 and other new gen games, photoshop/video & music editing

Did a lil more research on the components and this is what I have right now.

CPU ~ i5-2500k ( rebate makes it cheaper than the plain 2500) ~ $204 *rebate
MOBO~ ASRock P67 PRO3 (B3) LGA 1155 Intel P67 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX ~ $120
GPU ~ MSI N560GTX Twin Frozr II/OC GeForce GTX 560 (Fermi) 1GB 256-bit GDDR5
PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI ~ $200
PSU ~ Seasonic 620W ( Non modular) - ~$82
OPDRIVE ~LITE-ON Black SATA Model iHAS424-98 ~ $26
*considering a SSD
*MOBO selection was based on reviews of stability/ease of use/customer service

could also use good suggestions on RAM/optical drive (dvd/cd burning, no real need for BlueRay yet)

This costs $636 before extra warranties/shipping
$724 after

(Do I really need the new egg extra warranties?)
