Hi,
I have been waiting for bulldozer for my new build, but since it's no good for a gamer I have decided to build my first Intel system and would like some help since Intel seem to do everything differently.
I assume the top Intel CPU is the 2600k sandybridge, but don't know which motherboard chipset is the best or what memory to get.
Any help will be appreciated because I'm confused at the moment.
 
Ive been looking at some gaming benchmarks and there is a difference between the 2 but its not really worth the extra price. However i want to future proof the system as much as poss so will still be going for the 2600.

I don't really have a budget and i will be mainly using it for gaming so want high frame rates at 1920x1280 with max detail settings and high aa/af.
This is what ive come up with so far, is there anything to improve on.
Thanks for your help.

I quite like the look of that board its very stealthy. I might wait untill the ati 7series / Nvidia equivalent are released until i upgrade my GPU depending on there release date.
