Nice Config Jas.

Also For ATI Alternative MSI HD6950 TF III is also a good option for GFX

^actually he intends to play mafia II and batman aa which have nice physx effects. so i thought 560ti will do better here.

Thanks JAS for an awesome build i have a small doubt can i go for Sapphire Radeon HD 6950 Dirt 3 edition 2GB Toxic, with Unlocking switch which i think is the at same price as gtx .So as i already have a ups i wanted to go for i5 2500k for future proofing.So please do give inputs on the graphic card and will overclocking help in games.

thanks guys

PhysX = nVidia tech
out of the games you intend to play mafia II and batman aa have nice physx effects (eyecandy). and so does the future coming batman arkham city. so i told to get 560ti.

if not then yes 6950 dirt3 edition toxic is great card.

with i5 2500k you need a z68 or p67 mobo for overclocking.
and no, cpu overclocking doesnt effect games much. gpu matters.

if 2500k -

recommended mobo -

Motherboard |MSI Z68A-GD55 B3|9800

gives crossfire or sli advantage (dont forget for that you need a better psu too)

@luv_u_shark

If planning to sli or cf in future, look for a beefier psu corsair's tx or hx range. I would suggest atleast a 750w bronze psu. Corsair tx 750-v2 should be good. For a bit more headroom, 850-v2 is the best.

Oh my bad

Thanks

Sorry if am a bit offtopic, @Jas, would these Z68 mobos you mentioned support Ivy Bridge chips?

^yes most probably they will.
