Hi! Welcome to the forums.

-First of all, your PSU is FAR overkill. A 500w would be fine for a single card, a 550-650w for two.
-That H55 mobo is NOT compatible. You want Z68/Z77/Z75 for the 2500k.
-The Antec 902 is a pretty case but it has terrible cable management. Something like a HAF 922 or Corsair 400R would be preferable.
-That HDD is a little expensive. Look for cheaper options, possible 1tb drives. I mean, do you really need 2TB?

With the money saved grab a 7870.

Cheers!

I'd drop the case to an HAF 912 and invest way more in the motherboard - something like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128544

I wouldn't get a 2TB HD without an SSD for your primary - but I also wouldn't get an SSD on a sub-$1200 build either - I would use the remaining $100 and upgrade the GPU to a Radeon 7870: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102983

That PSU is also overkill - Corsair makes good PSUs but there's better ones that are far less expensive. Here's how to better spend on a $1250 build:

Case: Fractal Design Arc MIDI - $109.99
PSU: Corsair Enthusiast Series TX750 - $104.99
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z77-UD5H - $189.99
CPU: 3.30GHz Intel Core i5-2500K - $219.99
Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo - $34.99
RAM: Mushkin Enhanced Silverline 8GB 1333MHz - $42.99
HD: 1TB Seagate Barracuda ST - $99.99
Optical: Lite On Bulk DVD Burner - $17.99
Video Card: Sapphire Radeon HD 7950 - $399.99
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium - $99.99

Total: $1,277.91

Oh yeah it definitely helps to mention where you live because what's available here might not be available in Australia. If there's a store you buy from I can adjust prices accordingly.

There is this site http://www.scorptec.com.au/ and also the site i link in my original post, Thanks so much for your help

This would be a pretty good mobo: http://www.arc.com.au/pub.php?gid=23862&pid=42914&p=product Much more expensive than the one you have listred though. If you want to only go single card, there's cheaper options available.

I would recommend the CORSAIR Enthusiast Series TX650 psu

ASRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3 board this is the best bang for the buck out now

I would also recommend taking the extra money from the savings and upgrading to the

7870. gpu but that gpu will need more power so stick with the 650

Also a cheaper case with more air

you can also pick up a ssd for 50 bucks to put windows and some other programs on and let me tell you my pc is so much faster I just got a 50 dollar ssd
