No need to watercooling if you're not gonna do serious overclocking.
Kingstone RAM seems to be kind of hated around here but I've never had problems with it.
You seem to have a rather large budget. Personally I would buy at least a P67 chipset motherboard.

 

[shanky887614]

buy a p68 or z68 motherboard


h68 is not designed for gaming

p68 is designed for gaming

z68 has the benerfits of both


stick to either the stock fan or get a large aircooler


plua chuck a load of fans on pc case.

thats cheaper and will cool down your other components as well

That all looks good but change mobo to a z68 so you can upgrade to ivy bridge in the future, also what PC case will you be using?

Hello,

First of all you don't need a water cooling unless you plan to go an extreme overclocking like 5.0 GHz ++ speeds. If you are looking to build a gaming system then go with a better valued CPU like Intel Core i5 2500k (unlocked one). Also consider the ASUS P8H67-M EVO its better build and more featured one. Also consider AMD Radeon HD 7870 2GB card it performs better than GTX560ti. Take a look here: http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/AMD/HD_7850_HD_7870/1.html
CORSAIR Enthusiast Series TX750 V2 is a more solid one here. An 8gb of Vengenanace Ram is sufficient.

Also i have come across I7 2600 SANDY BRIDGE is it better than non- SANDY BRIDGE VERSIONS.

 

[aaryaman]

GIGABYTE-GA-Z68P-DS3-Z68-DDR3-ATX-Motherboard

How about this

 

[aaryaman]

i am sorry, but i am a pure NVIDIAN

Yes both 2600 and that mobo are better choices and will see you well for a long time to come, but what PC case will you be putting them all into ?

 

[aaryaman]

I have my HCL PC CASE

 

[aaryaman]

pls tell me if this gigabyte mobo is good for my gtx 560 ti

 

[aaryaman]

or how about this mobo

ASUS P8H67-M

 

[aaryaman]

just answer about this motherboard then it will be " who gave the best answer".
