Is this a good gaming rig

[revroo]

hi im new to system building. and have no real idea whats the best system would be for what i want to do, im planning on gaming in 1080p with max settings on every thing. i have a budget of about £900 so money isnt to much of a problem.

so far the parts im thinking of getting

cpu:- i5 2500k ive seen it for about £150
moba:- ASRock Z68 Extreme4 Gen3 Motherboard £100 on amazon
ram:- Corsair CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9 8GB 1600MHz CL9 DDR3 Vengeance Memory Two Module Kit £40 on amazon
gpu:- gtx 670 DirectCU II £350 (not sure if i should get this or a cheaper gtx 670 and OC it)
hdd:- seagate barracuda £80
psu:- not realy sure would love some help on picking one out
case:- haf x £120 just because i dont know what other case would fit a 670 if someone could put a cheaper case that would fit the gpu that would be much better for me

so is this a good gaming system, is there better parts for less money or have i done a good job with the parts ive picked, or could i get these parts for cheaper. and if you didnt know by me using pounds as money i live in the uk


thanks in advanced rev
p.s. sorry if this is in the wrong part of the forums

or depend your budget
and GPU still higher than New 660ti but price maybe cheaper

stick with the asus gtx670--its the quietest gtx670

or get the gigabyte x3 windforce gtx670 for about £20 or £30 cheaper--its the best all round gtx670

loads of cases will take a gtx670--the coolermaster storm trooper is about £20 cheaper than the haf x and even better

case

the gtx660ti looks good but not widely available yet so depends how much of a hurry you are in

also an aftermarket heatsink so you can overclock that 2500k

If you ever plan on sli I would go with 700-800watt.
If not I would go with 550-600 watt. Make sure they are 80plus certified. It will save a lot on the energy bill.
