Additional Comments: First build in 10 years so please be patient. Was going to go the AMD route until I found the Microcenter deal on the i5-2500k + $50 discount on motherboard and couldn't resist. Very open to suggestions. Plan on overclocking it at some point and adding a second hard drive. May add a graphics card at some point to take advantage of CUDA or for dual monitors but will likely be low end.
