That board has a 1155 socket and your processor is a 1156, so choose another 1156-socket board. I recommend ASrock mobos. Affordable and good.

Nah, you mean choose a 1155 socket processor.

I will post a build in a few minutes.

Antec Three Hundred: $44.99
A cheap case with excellent cooling.

Corsair Carbide 400R: $99.99 ($89.99 after rebate)
A newer case with even better cooling. Could also get the 500R in black or white.

SeaSonic X Series X650 Gold: $109.99
A much more efficient power supply.

MSI P67A-G43: $124.99 ($104.99 after rebate)
For overclocking and CrossFire if you want to.

Intel Core i5-2500K: $219.99
Only choice if you want to overclock a good processor without wasting money on the i7-2600K.

Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus: $27.99
Great cooling for the price, will allow you to overclock better.

G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 4GB: $29.99
Cheaper and newer RAM in the same capacity you were looking at.

G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB: $47.99
More and newer RAM for the same price you were looking at.

Sapphire Radeon HD 6950 1GB: $239.99 ($224.99 after rebate)
Fast card with good cooling. You can add a second later if you want.

Samsung SpinPoint F3 1TB: $59.99
Cheaper hard drive at the same capacity as what you were looking at.

Total: $822.92-$885.92 (after rebates)

I would recommend getting a better monitor, that resolution is tiny. Perhaps one of these $119.99 monitors.

@ the OP. Look at these changes. You want a 750w psu for dual 560ti's and a 2500K cpu.

Why? 650W is more than enough, especially as efficient as the X650 is. I say go for the higher-quality PSU at about the same price.

Efficiency is great. But it's a fine line between Gold, Silver, and Bronze rated psu's. Sometimes it comes down to amps and watts. Now if this was dual 6950's then a 650w psu would be no problem. But seeing how the gtx 560's pull a lot more juice than the 6950 the recommended psu for two of those cards is a 750w psu especially if you want head room for things like o/c, extra drives, fans, etc... They will tell you the same thing on the Nividia and/or EVGA forums.

There's no need to cut it close if you don't have to.
