Looking to build my first gaming rig within the next week. Priorities mainly for gaming as well as simple multitasking (music, web browse, etc). First time builder here.

Heres my build so far:

CPU: Intel Core i5-2500K Sandy Bridge 3.3GHz (3.7GHz Turbo Boost) LGA 1155 95W Quad-Core Desktop Processor

MOBO: ASRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3 LGA 1155 Intel Z68 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

PSU: Antec High Current Gamer Series HCG-750 750W ATX12V v2.3 / EPS12V v2.91 SLI Certified CrossFire Certified 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply

GPU: EVGA SuperClocked 01G-P3-1563-AR GeForce GTX 560 Ti (Fermi) 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-8GBRL

HDD: SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 HD103SJ 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive

HSF: COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 Plus RR-B10-212P-G1 "Heatpipe Direct Contact" Long Life Sleeve 120mm CPU Cooler

Case: COOLER MASTER HAF 922 RC-922M-KKN1-GP Black Steel + Plastic and Mesh Bezel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Comes out to $948 before taxes and rebate. Does everything look good and is this good for the price? If there are any items you think I could substitute that would be worth it let me know.

Thanks in advance!!!

Looks solid, but I can say from experience there is always a chance that Cooler gets in the way of your RAM (I have that Cooler and that RAM, but a different MOBO). Always a good thing to check, seeing as you only have 2 slots.

Ahhh what mobo did you purchase?

Nice bundle find. Saves me about $15. Are corsair PSUs just as good as Antec PSUs?

Yep. Corsairs are great psu's...manufactured by Seasonic. The only junk Corsairs are the "Builder Series" which are manufactured by CWT.

Corsair and Antec both make high quality PSUs. I'd put them in one of the top tiers.
