go with 2500K cpu - it is as fast as you can possibly use, I7 is a waste of money
use 64 bit OS
gSkill is junk in my experience - Crucial is quality
Gigabyte rocks - good choice, although I like z68 for the money

I think I might do that.But I'm also trying to build for the future "ivy bridge" compatible ?

Check my sig. Use the i5 3570k instead of the 2500k.
