Hey everyone,
I have the following system in mind, but wonder if it's too much, not enough, etc. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
1. Strictly Gaming (Civ 5, Rift, maybe others)
2. $2500, if necessary (I suspect I can get by just fine for a under)
3. US
4. Intel/nVidia, open on all other components
5. No current parts (been several years since I have built a pc)
6. Yeah (although, I may have missed something
7. Default, with the option to overclock
8. 1920 x 1200 (unless others suggest otherwise)
9. ASAP
Intel Core i7-2600K Sandy Bridge ($330.00)

ASUS P8P67 PRO LGA 1155 Intel P67 ($185.00)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131682
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB DDR3 1600 ($109)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231428
or
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231445
Worth the difference? Any other suggestions on memory?
Crucial RealSSD C300 128 GB Sata III ($265.00)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820148348
EVGA 015-P3-1580-AR GeForce GTX 580 (Fermi) 1536MB 384-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card ($500)

ASUS Black 24X DVD+R 8X... ($17.00)

Corsair Graphite Series 600T Black Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case ($160)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811139003
Not sure on power supply, thinking I want a bit of room to grow, possibly sli in the future?
Also need a monitor, still researching a bit on this front (any recommendations helpful).
Thanks for opinions, critiques, or general thoughts
