Help w/building a 'gaming' desktop?

[james0014]

Hey fellas. I currently have an i7 2600 and a Asus GTX 670...any suggestions on the motherboard and hard-drive? I figure these 4 components are the most important. And if you have feedback of the current parts I have feel free to let me know.
And the i7 I got came with a heatsink thats bigger than the usual one it would come with...would this still work?

The reason I say "gaming" is because Im running stock charts on 3 different monitors and I figured an decent build that would work for gaming would work for my purposes.

Thanks you, any help you give is invaluable

What are your current computer parts? You might not have to upgrade in another few years.

My current parts are CPU:i7-2600, GPU: Asus GTX 670. Are those good parts so far? Im not sure how the CPU compares to the i5-4570 and what Im worried is that the CPU I have now is subpar...currently, I am deciding on which mobo and hard drive to purchase- suggestions?

The cpu you have is better than the i5 4570, and will perform better than the i5.
Your cpu has hyperthreading, the i5 does not
