Looking for a very solid gaming rig to last for a while, mainly playing Diablo3 and possibly a few more demanding titles with light web browsing. Wont be overclocking or using crossfire.

Is this a really solid build to go with? Is everything compatible? the total was about 800. Wasn't sure on motherboard.

I know this is a little overkill for diablo3 but is it smarter to go with the i5-2500k and gta 560ti instead of say an i3-2120/gtx 550ti for about 170 dollars more?
 
I actually like your build looks decent to me only thing i would suggest is if you plan on overclocking you add CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CGcQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.newegg.com%2FProduct%2FProduct.aspx%3FItem%3DN82E16835103065&ei=Fuy4T_2mGOWviQLfhJT_Bg&usg=AFQjCNEw15SVSU-RmxN23KLJQ-h3q0_LhA&sig2=Gmg8H7nRzKWgJO5SMkPgyQ also i have had that case before it doesn't have good cable management so i would get a different case these are great cases for same price http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811147153#top and this is 10 bucks more but worth it http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119233
