Assemblling CPU for the first time

[Tikli]

After a long and tiring search, i decided to go with the Intel Core i5 2500k @3.3GHz processor and Nvidia Geforce GTX 560Ti 2GB DDR5. this is the hardware i want in my pc. Can any1 tell me what motherboard, socket, cooler, power supply etc. etc. i need?
i am only changing the cpu, i am happy with my 22" screen. Please reply. My budget: 450 dollars (including processor and GC)
I am assembling a pc for the first time. plz give any additional information

I dont think you researched that hard.

3570k is a newer, Ivy Bridge equivalent to the 2500k. Has the typical Ivy benefits that its a bit faster with a lower power draw. Should only be the difference of $10.
Intel i5-3570k. $230

The 560Ti is almost pointless now. The HD7850 is priced $30 below it and performs better.
Sapphire HD7850. $210

Is that $450 for the parts described above, or the whole build? We need to know your whole budget before we can suggest the rest of the parts.

I think thats his whole budget by the looks of it.

Have a look at the how to ask for new build advice thread and check back.
