From what I can tell I have matched up all the parts so that the will fit. The hard part for me is connecting them all. Will the power supply come with all the cables I need?

Total: $1535.91 (without OS)

everything will work together, what do you plan to use the pc for?

if its for mainly gaming id go with the i5-2500k and unless you plan to crossfire id get a 750w psu save some money. get 1600mhz ram over 1333 and 16gb is super over kill. shoot for 8gb and with the saved money go after a SSD

Dad doesnt want a SSD. Bummer. But what do you mean "crossfire"? And I chose the 850w psu because its made by Cooler Master and this case supports their largest dimensional psu. Ill look into a smaller one. But if you could emphasize on the change in CPU and what "crossfire" means.

Thanks!

P.S. - I figured out crossfire is the ATI term for SLI which is Nvidia. Running only one card per computer so no dual cards. But why drop the CPU down?
P.P.S. - I take it all of your changes were for money savers. Won't have time to look in detail right now, will check later. Looking forward to your responses.

Crossfire-amd SLI-nvidia (sorry ment SLI in what i first wrote) is to run 2 or 3 cards in tandem witch takes a PSU with more watts logically. unless you are planing to SLI, a 850w psu is more then needed for just one card and as far as the psu fitting 99% of them will fit in the haf 922

EDIT- money saving yes and youll realy lose 0 performance for gaming,and as for the CPUs the i5-2500(k) vs the i7-2600(k). is that the i7 has Hyper-Threading and theres bench marking some where that shows that Hyper-Threading can hurt some games performance. BUT im not sure if you could see it real world your realy gaining nothing for the 100 dollar price hike and as for the K verson and non K verson the K just means it has a unlocked multiplier(easier overclocking) i myself would take the money saved on a cpu/psu and ram and put it towards a gtx 580. but if you deadset on the i7 its still a very very good cpu

now that you picked a K model cpu im guessing you might wanna overclock and if so id pick up a aftermarket cpu cooler like

Newegg.com - hyper 212

and if your planing to buy this in the next few days id go with a corsair PSU there one of the top brands and newegg is having a good sale on them right now Newegg.com - CorsairPSU0112

I will not be overclocking.
