500-600 gaming build.

[lucidrainbow]

Hi, I was wondering if these parts are decent for the price. I am looking to build a PC for Gaming(Borderlands 2, Skyrim, BO2, SC2) and light photo and video editing with Adobe CS5.

Here is my current partslist.

I found the i5-2500k at microcenter for 159.99

Also, would there be a way to get similar performance but cheaper? The cheaper the better!
Thank you!

This will make use of the unlocked multiplier in your CPU. You'll need to add a cooler before OCing though.

Better grab the RAM fast before the promo ends.
