ps. my english is broken since its not my first language. so take it easy.

case.............Antec 1100
motherboard............Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD5H
processor.............Intel Core i5-2500K Sandy Bridge

That would be fine for gaming though I'd post in Systems section. You'd get more replies.

Yeah, your friends seems to know what he is doing. Ask if you could get a i5 3570K instead of the 2500K. They are the same price and slightly more efficient.

You don't need a sound card, that motherboard has a good one built in.
DDR means double data rate or something. Don't worry about it. As long as your RAM is DDR3 and your GPU is GDDR5, you are fine.
This will be a mid-range gaming computer, if that is what you mean by "what kind of computer this will be."

thx you guys ^^ already update my list as voiidwulf recommended and next time i'll post in the system section then. just joined yesterday, still dont know the way around.

Well, I'd say that you need to upgrade the GPU to a GTX 660 or a Radeon 7870/7850 at least.

power supply is too big, at 800W, you could reduce it to a good 600W and then afford the gpu increase mentioned above.

+1 to all the above advise I suggest you definitely get a better graphics card even if you have to drop the CPU from an i5 to an i3.

670 is a solid card if you can afford it.

I totally agree! go with a 7870, its what im running currently and i have been playing Far cry 3, hitman, and others in ultra.
