My budget is around 1500$ although i think this is much more expensive :p
So here is my system:
Processor:Intel 2600k
Motherboard:Maximus IV Extreme-Z
GPU: Gainward GTX 580 3024MB DDR5
Ram: 6GB DDR3 (@600mhz or more)
HardDrive:1000 or 500 GB, but with 7200RPM AND 32 mb cache
windows7 ultimate 64bit
monitor is at 1920X1080 AT 60HZ

SLI AND Overclocking is a maybe.

so whats wrong or could be modified, or just too expensive and a cheaper option is available?
1-SO is my hard drive option is fine or will slow down my computer?
2- ram should be 8 rather than 6gb?
3-WILL GTX 580 WILL BE GOOD or i should push myself and get 570 SLI ?

Thanks for reading.

LoL :D No it doesn't suck, but you can definitely save some $$ without losing in terms of perfomance..Can you please fill the sticky form, so we can help? :)
 
Drop the processor back to an i5-2500K. The RAM will be 2x2GB or 2x4GB, not 3xanything.
What PSU? If your plans include future SLI (you shouldn't need to, not at 1920x1080), you'll want 850W; for a single GTX580, 650W is enough. Choose a quality PSU like Seasonic, Antec, or Corsair.
