I'm starting my first build ever and i just want to make sure I get everything right so I don't waste my money, and on top of that I'm not all that tech savvy. Basically I want to build a gaming rig/everyday use kinda thing but without spending too much money. I want to be able to run Guild Wars 2 as well as I possibly can and I also don't want to have to worry about upgrading anytime soon while also not spending much. My budget is around $1000 or less. I already have a rough draft system going but I'm a little uncertain about the motherboard and processor. I don't really know much about motherboards and I'm stuck on deciding between an i3 or an i5. Heres the links to the parts I've chosen as a rough draft kinda thing let me know any suggestions you might have. Thanks in advance.

EDIT- Also if you could give some info into your suggestions or changes that would be great, thanks.

if your not going to over clock pick up the 3540 from micro center is 149.00. the newer 3470 is 5.00 less the the 2500 then you picked. the ib are about 15 percent faster then sb. a good micro atx mb is the msi g45/g43 motherboards. also if you go ith non k chip for savings you can pick up a h chipset motherboard. if you can wait a few days the 650 ti video cards are going to drop. they may be a faster card then the 560 for about the same price.
