Hey Guys, want to build a nice computer for $2500. Mainly for Gaming and Photoshop. I don't know what to get though, I was thinking a 2600K for my rendering stuff: but can't decide what else to get...

Supplier: pccasegear.com
 
Motherboard - ASUS P8P67 (REV 3.0) - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131705
Cpu - 2600k - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115070
HD - WD Caviar Black 1TB -(wait a few months before you buy this) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136830
SSD - Crucial M4 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148442
Memory - G.SKILL Sniper Series 8GB -http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231460
Power Supply - CORSAIR HX850 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139011
Video Card - EVGA GTX 580 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130587
Case - Antec 900II - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129097

And youll have plenty room if you want to upgrade any of those things or buy a monitor, keyboard and mouse.

i personally have a few of those items and my computer will run anything. the 2600k is a little more powerful than what ive got (i7 950) but im clocked 4.2 so it evens out.


EDIT: i forgot the supplier you wanted to go through.... just take the link and find them on what site you want to use.
EDIT: For people who dont click links.

Corsair 650TX/HX
 
This is what I would go with. Slightly more hefty and expensive then the other two. Depending on the size of your PS projects, you might want 16GB of RAM. Also supports SLI 580s in the future if you want. :)
