I have replaced parts, and upgraded computer hardware, but have never started from scratch and built on.
The BIG question I have is what motherboard to get that will be best compatible with these parts, and what power supply to get.
Current parts:
-------
EVGA SuperClocked 01G-P3-1563-AR GeForce GTX 560 Ti // Should I get it superclocked or not? Same price without superclocked.
Newegg.com - EVGA SuperClocked 01G-P3-1563-AR GeForce GTX 560 Ti (Fermi) 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
-------
Intel Core i5-2500K Sandy Bridge 3.3GHz (3.7GHz Turbo Boost) // Never clocked a processor, but may want to try, so Ill get the "K"
Newegg.com - Intel Core i5-2500K Sandy Bridge 3.3GHz (3.7GHz Turbo Boost) 4 x 256KB L2 Cache 6MB L3 Cache LGA 1155 95W Quad-Core Desktop Processor BX80623I52500K
-------
G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 12GB (3 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 // 12GB is a lot, just want to prepare for the future.
Newegg.com - G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 12GB (3 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9T-12GBRL
-------
Antec Nine Hundred Two V3 Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Gaming Case

QUESTIONS:
1. I need some advice on the motherboard and power supply to get that will work best with these parts.
2. Also, would there be a big difference in performance getting the GeForce GTX 560 Ti, or the GeForce GTX 570 for the extra $100 or so?
3. Any advice on a heatsink to buy for the Intel i5?
All feedback is greatly appreciated.
