My First Pc built ADVICE NEEDED

[mrbutcher]

Hey guys!
I wanted some expert advice on MY PC BUILT. i want to play Modern games like COD MW3, Black-ops, Battlefield 3 all at 1080p or 720p Max out or at least on HIGH settings. I also need some help in picking out a motherboard and ram, i am stuck deciding between ASRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3 which is at a great price (121$) OR ASUS P8Z68-V/GEN3(189$) at New egg.com and between 4 or 8 GB of RAM so what should i get. I want the best performance possible i will Overclock the CUP and GPU too. AND IS THIS SETUP A BALANCED ONE ( i don't want any bottleneck)

PROCESSOR: Intel Core i5-2500K Sandy Bridge 3.3GHz (3.7GHz Turbo Boost)
CPU Cooler:Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus
RAM:4-8 GB (NEED HELP AT)
GRAPHIC CARD: Ge Force GT X 560 Ti( will this CARD handle modern Games)
MOTHERBOARD: ASRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3 OR ASUS P8Z68-V/GEN3 (NEED HELP AT)
STORAGE: Corsair Force Series GT 120 GB SATA 2.5-Inch AND 500GB Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM
POWER SUPPLY:Corsair TX650 V2
Case: Cooler Master 690 II Advance


MY Concerns, AsRock mobo(would it be capable of Overclocking the Cpu to 4.0Ghz and if i get the 570 or even 580 in the future will this mobo(ASRock 1) OC it to a good level) with 8 GB RAM.

And after reviewing everything i have another option i can go for i could get a GTX570 if i drop the SSD and get a 1 Tb HDD. I have a Budge of 1000-1200 $ i would love to built this under 1000

I am very eager to read you thoughts on my new build.

With that motherboard you can overclock verry well everything you want.
You can buy this 64GB SSD for OS and other small programs Crucial M4 2.5" 64GB SATA III http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148441 80$ and then you can buy this 570:
EVGA SuperClocked GeForce GTX 570 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130622 320$ and 300$ after rebates.

2x4gb of ram and the Asrock will do just fine

PROCESSOR: Intel Core i5-2500K Sandy Bridge 3.3GHz (3.7GHz Turbo Boost)
If you are going to OC then yes. If no OC then the i5-2400
CPU Cooler:Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus Good
RAM:4-8 GB (NEED HELP AT) 8
GRAPHIC CARD: Ge Force GT X 560 Ti( will this CARD handle modern Games) Depends on your budget. A 6870 is very good for the money. From there the 6900 series or of course the new 7000's. Keppler from nVidia is due out soon. You can do better than the 560 for the money. See the February video card review here at Toms for more details and their take
MOTHERBOARD: ASRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3 OR ASUS P8Z68-V/GEN3 (NEED HELP AT) Asrocok
STORAGE: Corsair Force Series GT 120 GB SATA 2.5-Inch AND 500GB Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM Cruciil, Intel and Samsung are best rated atm.
POWER SUPPLY:Corsair TX650 V2Good
Case: Cooler Master 690 II Advance CM 212 gets good reviews


MY Concerns, AsRock mobo(would it be capable of Overclocking the Cpu to 4.0Ghz and if i get the 570 or even 580 in the future will this mobo(ASRock 1) OC it to a good level) with 8 GB RAM.

And after reviewing everything i have another option i can go for i could get a GTX570 if i drop the SSD and get a 1 Tb HDD. I have a Budge of 1000-1200 $ i would love to built this under 1000 If you go with a Hdd and drop the SSD use a WD Black 500gb. However, given the prices of Hdd's I would go with the SSD + Seagate Hdd

I am very eager to read you thoughts on my new build.
