New Build Advice/Suggestions: Around $1000

[triiix_magik]

Hey I am new to the home build/ new build area, I have purchased pre made computers before but I am looking to move into this type of thing because it interests me and I can have more choices and versatility. I play many different games from FPS to RTS and surf the web quite often. Like just about everyone else, I am looking for the most bang for my buck and I have used the generic new build help format. Please comment and leave any suggestions you have:
Approximate Purchase Date: Anywhere from now to early January

Budget Range: $800-1200 pre rebates

System Usage from Most to Least Important: gaming, movies, surfing the internet, 3D CAD Software (Autodesk Inventor)

Parts Not Required: completely fresh build

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: anyplace that is cheap/reliable

Country: East Coast USA

Parts Preferences: I have been looking at the Intel CPUs and

Overclocking:Maybe

SLI or Crossfire: Maybe

Monitor Resolution: doesn't really matter, probably closest to standard

Additional Comments: I usually play games such as Mount and Blade, MW3, Combat Arms, Diablo, almost any RTS game, Minecraft, the mainstream games . . .

As I said I am new, but I created a potential build, please tell me if there are any key components missing and how I could decrease the price but still attain maximum potential for the games listed above (same as everybody else)

Also a Hyper 212 EVO.
Get a mouse pad with that DeathAdder. Maybe a Qck. Do you really need a wireless mouse?
You do NOT need a better case. Cases do not necessarily get better as they get more expensive. Get a 570 with the extra money instead.

I do not need a wireless mouse, but it is definitively a near future upgrade
Agreed about the case as well

so the graphics card can remain the same?

 

[triiix_magik]

So the new build would be ?
motherboard: ASRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3 LGA 1155 Intel Z68
ram: i dont know if this was the one you mentioned: http://www.eteknix.com/reviews/memory/g-skill-ripjawsx-ddr3-1866mhz-8gb-memory-kit-review/
CPU: Intel i5 2500k
Case: Cooler Master HAF 922 Mid-Tower?
Graphics Card: (same) NVIDIA GeFOrce GTX 560 Ti 1GB (MSI) ?
Keyboard: (same)
Mouse: I actually have a wired one that is decent and a mini wireless
Headset: not necessary atm
Cooler: CORSAIR Enthusiast Series CMPSU-650TX 65 or Hyper 212 Evo?

The TX650 is a power supply, not a heatsink. You will need both that and the 212 EVO.
You can get a 570 with the extra money saved off your original build.
Choose the case by stylistic preference. If you like the look of the 922, go with that.
You might as well get 1600mhz RAM. You won't see a difference, and it's cheaper.
