Computer build review

Hi there, I am thinking of building my first computer and I notice quite a few people ask for reviews on here. I want to make a fairly good computer with decent graphics for newer PC games coming out that may require a bit more than my current rig has, and probably going to hand-down this computer to a friend that needs an upgrade (His is sadly slow.) I have links for all the pieces, sans a case, with an estimation price without tax. Any advice would be nice. I made sure the MB, PSU and such have the right slots to fit it all together, I just want to know if I have a good build with the peices.

All links are newegg links for the specific parts

I am considering getting 2 bundles of the memory, but that may just be an upgrade for after than a necessity for when building.

Thanks in advance,

I do not know enough bout your mother board; however PNY has always given me issues they are in my book garbage. I recommend better memory Corsair or Crucial. (its worth it. Nothing more frustrating than bad/cheap memory; PNY sux)

*Also for a gaming rig you don't need a 1T size drive smaller is better anyways. just my 2 cents

Drop the i5-2500 and get the i5-2500K for $10 more. The 2500K has an unlocked multiplier and overclocks nicely, if you're into that sort of thing.

Just a suggestion.

Okay, replace the Processor, and I have decent experience with PNY, but I know Corsair is reliable, so will take your word AzA. I'll put 'admendments' to the build as I fix.

Also, I wanted the TB because, well... I have a CRAPLOAD of games and want them ALL installed, just incase I get inspiration... As most are on steam... And my internet (For now) kinda sucks.

Most everything looks good but I have two questions.

First, what's your plan for a case?

Second, what's the reason for the maxed out motherboard? If it's because of it's supposed PCIe V3 support you should know that you will need to use the next generation of Intel CPUs (current iX-2xxx series only support PCIe V2) and a video card that supports PCIe V3. The AsRock Z68 Extreme 4 is currently $65 cheaper.
