Hi, i've recently started to look into building my first rig and after much research i've settled on putting around 1.2k on the tower (including windows 7) and i'm wondering what would be a good mid-end rig for that price. Here's what i already have:
Mouse: Razer Deathadder
Keyboard: Razer Blackwidow stealth
Monitor: Dell Ultrasharp U2312HM 23''
Sound: Behringer UCA202 / Objective 2 amp / ATH AD700
I'll probably throw in an Astro Mixamp in the mix down the road but i don't play shooters much, right now the only game i plan on runing is Diablo 3. And here is what i plan on getting for the tower:
CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor (220$ i think)
CPU Cooler: Corsair Hydro Series H60 74.4 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler (65$)
Mobo: Asus P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3 ATX LGA1155 Motherboard (190$)
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws Series 8GB (4 x 2GB) DDR3-1333 Memory (65$)
HDD: Samsung Spinpoint F3 500GB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive (80$)
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 560 1GB Video Card (186$)
Case: Lian-Li PC-K9B ATX Mid Tower Case (110$)
PSU: Corsair 650W ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply (130$)
Optical: Lite-On iHAS124-04 DVD/CD Writer (17$)
OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Professional SP1 (64-bit) (140$)
Total: 1 200$
Any feedback on potential compatibility issues or going overkill in some ares would be highly appreciated.
EDIT: Just saw the sticky...

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg.ca, directcanada.ca
