Please for Your opinions
and Thank You

The asus mobo is a good choice. Yes u can run up to 2133 on that board iirc. As for 2500k vs 2600k it depends what is this pc for. For the ram this or abything with a higher frequency will be good. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...31430&cm_re=gskill_4gb-_-20-231-430-_-Product. Corsair tx650 is enough. For the gpu i would rather go wih a gtx570. As in fps they both are neck to neck but in price,noise,temps,power compsumption the gtx570 is better.

thank You for replay

PC just for games and movies(watch) , With Psu i want to buy bigger just incase ... or im worry to much ?

nowegg is brill site but im living in UK

Well if you know you are gonna go SLI w/ that 480 then I would go ahead and get the 850w....but if you arent then 650 will be enough. All you'll need for gaming and movies is the i5 2500k, for those purposes it beats out the i7 2600k...slim but still you can put the extra money towards a better GPU like DR DEUCE said, the GTX 570.
-Also, for your uses there is really no use to get RAM over 1600mhz.

Stay with the 1600 but get tighter timings, like 6 or 7.

Go to a 560 ti, and from the hundred bucks of going down to the 2500 get a solid state
