Review my <$1000 Gaming Rig please?

I'm currently building a dedicated Gaming Rig optimized for Starcraft 2 and my budget is around $1000. I prefer to keep it under $1000 but it can go up to maximum of $1500 and doesn't matter how long my Gaming PC lasts if it's worth the money in the long run.



I'm going to use a single monitor in 1920x1080 resolution. And I'm going to play Sc2, DotA 2 and HoN majority of the time. I will also try out other games like LoL, Skyrim, Dragon Age II, GW 2, Tera, WoW and Diablo III.



This is what I'm planning to buy:



CPU: Intel Core i5 2500K $229

CPU HSF: CoolerMaster Hyper 212+ $33

Mobo: Asrock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3 $145

RAM: G.Skill F3-10600CL9D-8GBNT (2x4GB) DDR3 (1333MHz 9-9-9-24 1.5v) $55

HDD: Samsung SpinPoint F3 1TB HD103SJ $59

GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 560 Ti Twin Frozr II OC 1GB $249

Case: Antec 300 $59

PSU: Antec Neo Eco 520W $69



Total: $898+ $78 shipping = $976



Note: I'm buying everything from http://www.pccasegear.com because I live in Australia and they are the cheapest. Also since buying from the same online store will reduce the shipping cost.



I have a few questions:



Q1.) I'm still not sure which RAM I should go with. I listed the best price-to-value ratio G.Skill 8GB(2x4GB) RAM from PCCG below, which RAM should I go with?:



鈥?G.Skill Ripjaws X F3-12800CL8D-8GBXM (1600MHz 8-8-8-24 1.5v) $79

鈥?G.Skill Ripjaws X F3-10666CL7D-8GBXH (1333MHz 7-7-7-21 1.5v) $72

鈥?G.Skill Ripjaws F3-12800CL9D-8GBRL (1600MHz 9-9-9-24-2N 1.5v) $65

鈥?G.Skill Ripjaws X F3-10666CL9D-8GBXL (1333MHz 9-9-9-24N 1.5v) $59

鈥?G.Skill F3-10600CL9D-8GBNT (1333MHz 9-9-9-24 1.5v) $55



If you think I could get even better value RAM than what I'm showing above, can you can recommend me a better ones from here?: http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main鈥?/a>



Q2). Also, I'm unsure about the GPU as well. Which GPU is better for the type of games I'm going to play? HD 6950 or 560Ti?



鈥?If it's 560Ti could you choose the best value one from here?: http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main鈥?/a>

鈥?If it's HD 6950 could you choose the best value one from here?: http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main鈥?/a>



Note:

- I'm getting 2500K instead of 2400 because Starcraft 2 is a very CPU intensive game and I want to maintain minimum of 60FPS all the time at least in 1v1.

- I was thinking of getting 560Ti instead of HD6950 since I heard that Blizzard games performs much better on NVIDIA GPU.

- I'm getting 8GB RAM since 4GB isn't much cheaper anyway and it's more future proof.

- This Gaming Rig will only be used for gaming.

- I'm not planning to SLI/Cross-fire on my Gaming Rig



Thanks in advance. I'll give 10 points for the best answer :)Review my %26lt;$1000 Gaming Rig please?
Looks good. The only thing that came to mind for me is that your heat sink is going to be large and you should do the calculations to make sure it will fit. I took a quick glance at the reviews of the case on Newegg and found someone who said they used that heatsink. Quote "The case seems a little cramped after putting my power supply (Corsair CMPSU-650TX), heatsink (Coolermaster Hyper 212), and video card (560 Ti) in." Assuming your psu is the same size, it should be tight but doable - I'd be inclined to go for a slightly roomier case myself.Review my %26lt;$1000 Gaming Rig please?
When building a gaming computer it would be wise to go on the more expensive side. less than 1000 will run alot of games on max but will not have a very long life of being good. to address your parts 8GB of RAM is plenty and since you are getting 2 sticks of 4 you will have room to add more if necessary. and yes that is good ram as far as i know. it is ddr3 which is what your are looking for. The hard drive will give you plenty of memory and i happen to have one and it works great. for the processor i have a i7 but my friend has a i5 and his i would say almost matches mine. the antec 300 is a good case too, myn is the more expensive version but id say a 300 is plenty good. For the motherboard is asrock which is the cheaper version of asus which i wish i could have gotten but wasnt avalible at the time, but otherwise i dont know a wholde lot about motherboard but that looks good. 520 watts for the PSU i believe would be enough for that. Now finally for the GPU, i would HIGHLY suggest a nividia Geforce model GPU, everyone i know has them and no complaints on them. A gtx 570 is expensive but i would say you should jump for it because you will notice the difference.

Sorry for the long read but i hope that will help you out or at least reinforce someone elses answer
