HELP ME GET A GAMING PC ($1000)

[tomrrt]

Hi all,
I find this site to be a last-word for any pc building...
So expecting your full support

I need to buid a gaming pc which support latest games in high-settings (or near-high).
My budget is $1000.
After a long research on net, i shortlisted i5 2500K and GTX 560Ti for my CPU and GPU. I need to overclock both.
So which maker 560Ti I need? And I may not use SLI.
For Indian techies, my budget is anything below 48000/-

Rest of the things, I really need your help.

Anyway, I may come with my expected config.

CPU : i5 2500K
GPU : GTX 560 Ti
Mobo : Asus P8P67 Pro
(I actually need in a mobo, P67 chipset, USB 3 and 2 ports, SATA 6GBps port, PCI-E 2x16, 1333/1600Mhz DDR3 RAM slot )
(If any budget-alternative is there, please specify..)

Cabinet : (Any ATX is better??)
PSU : (I need to overclock CPU and GPU, but no SLI)
RAM : 4 GB DDR3 @ 1333Mhz (enough for OC?)
HDD : Seagate Barracuda 1 TB (SATA3)
Monitor : Acer GD235HZ
(Is it a good idea to try 3D now..? Or should I wait one or two years..? If 3D isn't that much great, I may opt for a non3D full HD 24" LED)

And, for cooling, whether CoolerMaster 212+ is enough for GPU and CPU..?

Any help is great, because I need to buy within 10 days...!

i'd go for this Z68 mobo:

this 560Ti:

this ddr3 1600Mhz ram:

personally i'd go with this PSU which would allow you to SLI in the future:

or you could go with this PSU to save $10:

Hey tom, I think the mobo, GPU, and antec PSU that ps3hacker12 linked are great. The memory is good as well but you might consider going with 1866MHz like this one since the mobo supports it and its still cheap. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231455

The Antec 300 case is definitely one of my favorites for the price. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129066

Personally I would forgo a 3D monitor at the moment and get a nice LED.

yeah the Antec 300 is a great case, you may also like this:

or this:

but for the NZXT case you will need to buy additional fans.

Ok, thanks for the reply...
I do not visually light up my case or anything like that..!
I just need the performance...

But I find i5 2500K supports 1333mhz ram or so...
so is it a waste spending for 1800+ Mhz ram...?

Also, what is a cheaper GTX 560Ti (single) air cooler...?

Thanks in advance..

Hello. thanks for your support, but I can't order though.
I live in India and NewEgg shipping is not here...
I have to pay the retailers price...No discount or anything...🙁

^ You could check out the $900 build in my siggy.

See how that prices out in India. Get the Hyper 212+ too, it should be quite cheap.
