Sounds like a good gaming PC, if you have the money go ahead and buy it.

It'll run any modern day game for quite a while but you could probably go for something a bit cheaper and get pretty much the same quality...

Money is in all the wrong spots for gaming machine. socket 1366 is dead. games don't use 6 cores.

i5 2500k + Z68 , don't get their 1000w no name PSU crap, grab the silverstone.

Motherboard is waaaaay over the top. Burning money. 2000mhz ram doesn't make a lick of difference over 1600mhz ram.

Get the intel 510 series, not the 320 series.

550ti with that mobo and CPU is a disasater, you'll be very pissed off once you find out you can't play new games on high.

Grab a GTX 570 / 580 / 6950 / 6970
