Looks good. The only thing I would change would be swapping the i5-2500k out for an i5-2400. Since you aren't overclocking you won't notice the difference between those two processors at stock speeds. ...they will both game the same.

A 650 watt XFX Core Edition PSU would be $5 more and handle a 2nd 550 Ti GFX card

Case is a bit small and no front USB 3 port

$2 more forDDR3-1600 and no toothy heat sinks to hit a CPU cooler

MoBo only has 1 GFX card slot and only has 2 year warranty
