Do you have a budget?

I would like to keep it $2000 or lower. This will be a computer used mostly for gaming but also for school as a computer programmer....but mostly games

These are RECOMMENDATIONS(sry caps)

1.Instead of fans, I would change it to water cooling http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835181017

2. do you have a case?

3.Heres a OS if you need it

4.If your gonna crossfire, you will need a PSU >700W
and cooler masters have bad PSUs
here you can see if check if the PSUs are good or not

tier5-time bomb
tier1-the best

5. You might need a new mobo, p67 is kinda old compared to the z68, since their the same price

everything else looks good

Did you have a need for the i7? I may have missed it, but if you don't, the i5 2500k would be fine for gaming (Unless you find a killer deal on the i7).

+1 on the H series coolers. I use the H100 and am happy to have purchased it. If you are not OCing right away though, wait on iot and get it when a MIR hits. They come up regularly and you can use a stock cooler until then (also you don't need to buy thermal grease )

These are the PSUs that I like currently:

P67 is fine if you are getting a gpu. Otherwise Z68 is a good choice if you want to use the cpu graphics and wait for GPU prices to fall (I am). Two boards that were recommended to me (because they OC great!):

and

(and if you live near a Micro Center, you can get a bundle deal on cpu and those mobos; $50 bucks off)

sorry this one is just poor no joke its not good imo

either tone down to i5 2500k/i5 2400 and get a better GPU or go get a 1tb hdd instead of 2tb really get a gtx560ti 1gb or a hd 6950 2gb/1gb if not 6970 if you can afford that or the 2gb version of gtx560ti
