This will be my first time building a computer. I have been getting lots of advice and help from friends about components, but before I order things I wanted to make sure everything looked good and compatible. Looking to stay below 1000, but would prefer to make a computer for about 800. Am a light gamer.

Here's what I have been looking at:

Processor: Core i5 2500K LGA 1155 Boxed Processor Price: 179.99

Motherboard: Asus P8Z68-V LX LGA 1155 Z68 ATX Intel Motherboard Price: 119.99

Graphics: EVGA SuperClocked 01G-P3-1461-KR GeForce GTX 560 (Fermi) 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card Price : 199.99

Hard Drive: Using old one, still good from computer is a Western Digital 500 Gb shown here

Power Suppy: Corsair Enthusiast Series 650-Watt 80 Plus Bronze Certified Power Supply Compatible with Intel Core i3, i5, i7 and AMD platforms - CMPSU-650TXV2

EDITED: Memory: G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1066 (PC3 8500) Desktop Memory Model F3-8500CL7D-8GBRL Price:37.99

Case: NZXT H2 H2-001-WT White Steel / Plastic Classic Silent ATX Mid Tower Chassis Price: 99.99

Dvd drive: SAMSUNG CD/DVD Burner 22X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 16X DVD+R DL 22X DVD-R 6X DVD-RW 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-R 24X CD-RW 48X CD-ROM Black SATA Model SH-222AB - OEM Price:17.99


Total: 747.93, but with tax and shipping easily 800 but less than 850.

guessing my weakest choices are my memory and my motherboard.

Thanks for your time.
