hi!

id like to ask for some help building a gaming rig somewhere in the price range of 600-700eur.

the components i've decided on are the intel i5 2500k processor, 8Gbs of ram and an nvidia gtx graphics card (i'm willing to spend around 150-250eur on the gpu).

since i have no experience in bulding my own pc, i'd like to ask for some help with the remaining components.

what kind of motherboard do i need and how do i check how powerful my PSU should be?
also, does it matter what kind of case i get (besides the size obviously)?

any help would be greatly appreciated!

Motherboard - Socket 1155, Z77, Z68 or P67 type.
RAM - Dual Channel DDR3 240 pin 1.5v 9 9 9 24 (or LOWER numbers), 2x2GB, or 2x4GB
PSU 600-700 Watt Bronze certificate or better.
I recommend you get a GTX 660 or better :) 
You might want to look at getting a SATA6 SSD for the Operating system
And a HDD for storage.
Get a midi-tower case (ATX).
