Need help with building a new computer please

[dumdum]

Well hello. I have a friend who is going to build a new computer and he needs a bit of help with deciding parts.

Here are the parts that me, him and some other friend got down together

Intel Core i5 Processor i5-2500K 3.3GHz 6MB LGA1155 CPU BOX80623I52500K

EVGA GeForce GTX 560 Ti FPB 1024 MB GDDR5 PCI-Express 2.0 Graphics Card - Lifetime Warranty 01G-P3-1561-AR

Western Digital 500 GB Caviar Black SATA 6 Gb/s 7200 RPM 32 MB Cache Bulk/OEM Desktop Hard Drive - WD5002AALX

CORSAIR Enthusiast Series CMPSU-650TX 650W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Compatible with Core i7 Power Supply

G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory Model F3-10666CL9D-8GBRL

ASRock H61M-VS LGA 1155 Intel H61 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

Cooler Master RC-600-KKN1-GP Gladiator 600 Mid Tower ATX Case with 140mm Fan (Black)

I am not too sure whether these parts are good to get. Mainly he wants to know if there are any new graphic cards or cpu's that are coming out anytime soon. He wants to see if buying these parts will be a good choice because he is willing to wait for better deals, etc. Also, the computer will be around 900 including shipping and tax. I am a little suspicious about the ASrock brand.. If someone wants to recommend a good build for around 800, that would be great though! I lost track of computer parts and don't know which would be "smart" to get.

Thank You

Id prolly go with something like this, rebates put you at around 900 mark

He could probably skip out on the Video card and use the cpu graphics till a nice card becomes cheaper saves 230$

All this can be about 15% cheaper if bought seperate/ in promotions etc.

looks like a pretty standard build but like fox said looking for deals and combo items will help with the price
I like everything but the mobo and the HD ram speed is a little slow

Change your mobo to an ASRock P67 instead, everything else is fine. And if the budget will allow get the Corsair HX series PSU! Also don't forget the Hyper 212 CPU Cooler.

[Victor]

if you want a bit cheaper board, then p67 is certainly a good choice, you won't be missing much compare to the z68 except the quicksync and also the intel smart response (SSD caching). The parts recommended from other posters are pretty good so I wont' repeat them.

[dumdum]

Thanks for the advise guys. I will consider those recommendations you gave me.
