Final build

So this is it, this should be my final build:

MSI GeForce GTX 560Ti
Intel Core i5-2500K
Gigabyte P67A-UD3-B3
Coolermaster CM-690 II
OCZ StealthXStream 2 600W
Corsair XMS3 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz

I'm just a bit sketchy about the motherboard but Everything else seems fine. I wonder, how long will this last?

I like it, it is a very safe build, Could you afford to inrease your RAM to 8gb? Whilst its still relatively cheap.

Assuming ofcourse you want to, some people never touch past 4GB anyway ^^

I can't right now, but maybe next month.

Stock cooler? I'd factor in a 3d party £30 cooler, like a Titan Fenrir Evo.

and of course a SSD for OS and programs

Looks good. Don't get >4GB of RAM, you won't use it, and it'll only get cheaper.

You will want to get an aftermarket cooler- I happen to think the Hyper 212+ is the best value for money at £20 at the moment.

SSD would be nice when you have £100 or so to drop on it, but they're due to drop in price within a couple months and you need to get at least 80GB to avoid running out of space too early.
