Personally i think that monitor is a bit pricey but it's personal preference really. With the rest of the build i need to know a few more things before i can suggest anything. For example:

1) Do you want to overclock at some point?
2) Do you want to SLI/Crossfire at some point?
3) Do you want to use a multi monitor setup at some point?
4) Do you have a preference for any particular brands?
5) Is quietness preferable?
6) Do you like 'gamer' style cases with the lights and pointy edges or something more sleek?
7) Any other preferences?

Alternatively you could fill in the new build guide form that is in a sticky at the top of the homebuilt systems forum and i would be happy to help.

I5 2500K on a Z68 board.
For single GTX580 a quality 650watt PSU, with an option of SLI later 850watt.

Oh wow sorry i didn't realise i left all that space after my post, my return key got stuck :/

overclock - i think this time when my rig is brand new i don't need to overclock but may be later about after 1\2 years i need to do it.

SLI/Crossfire - i think 1 gtx-580 is enough for 1900*1200 later sli or crossfire not this time

multi monitor setup - i don't think so a huge is enough

preference for any particular brands - what do you think about COTSAIR for case , power supply , and ram

quietness preferable - i do like a quit one but i can bear little disturbance\ noise if it is the good one

gamer' style cases with the lights and pointy edges - i prefer a case not so expensive but air flow should be good and keep my stuff cool.

i was also surprise to see a lot of space in your reply

 

[jmsellars1]

I think this would be your best bet:

Intel Core i5-2500k
8GB G.Skill Ripjaws X 1600Mhz
GIGABYTE GA-Z68X-UD4-B3
GIGABYTE GTX 570 (Fermi)
Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB (2 in RAID 0 Perhaps)
Crucial M4 64GB
Antec HCG-750 750W
Fractal Design Define R3 Black
Samsung 27'' 1ms LCD Monitor
Corsair H50

Even with the RAID 0 setup that comes to just under $1600 before shipping and rebates.

I left the GTX 580 out of it and went for a GTX 570 because they are better value and are going to max games on a single monitor anyway, you probably won't even need SLI for a while.

All in all though it should be very quiet and it will all look cool in red and black

case full tower or mid tower

 

[jmsellars1]

That one there is a mid tower, there is a full tower version available though. It's the Fractal Design Define XL.

EDIT: Had a few typos 😛

 

[metro_2020]

today i see a nxzt full tower phantom you know its really cool but i heard width of this case is not enough and there seven fan inside well thats not a problem and price near about 140$ in india what do you think about it .
one more thing i postponed to think about cpu and mobo i will wait till amd gona release his new cpus what you say

+1 jmsellars.

I'd just change that GPU with a more powerful GTX 580.
Also an ASRock Z68 Gen3 board.

 

[metro_2020]

antec 1200 full tower what you people think about this one ?

 

[jmsellars1]

I have the 902 which is just a smaller version of it and it is good for cooling and has good build quality but it can be a bit of a pain sometimes. For example i have to remove 16 screws just to clean the front fan filters (in the 902). Personally i think theyre quite ugly too to be honest but that's personal preference.

 

[metro_2020]

what power supply i prefer well i want a good one 850 - 1000 watt 80 plus gold\ bronze\ silver
seasonic , corsair , antec three of them must do good choose one for me i like to have one 1000 watt

 

[jmsellars1]

Depends on your final choice, if you go for 2 x GTX 570 then the Seasonic SS-850HT or the XFX Core 850W are good choices. Maybe get 900-1000W for 2 x GTX 580. The Antec HCG-900 is good.
