@op: apart from the above suggestion, you can also add another module of G.skill RipjawsX 4GB kit as it will get into your budget nicely.

here's goes mine ;-)

Intel Core i5 2500k @ 10.5k
ASUS P8Z68-V PRO @ 13k
G.skill RipjawsX 2x F3-128000CL9S-4GBXL @ 3.8k
MSI R6950 Twin Frozr III @15.3k
Corsair TX650 V2 @ 5.5K
Cm Hyper 212+ @ 1.9k

even if Op don't want to OC buying a K sku cpu with a quality Z68 mobo makes more sense and he is going to use that rig for next 3-4 years for which the option to OC the core i5 2500k is a must have as it will boost the cpu performance for more demanding games of future

the cooler will keep the cpu cool enough upto ~4.5 Ghz and with that mpob the cpu can be pushed even higher.

With TX650v2 OP can add a more powerful gpu or another HD6950 later and 8GB ram is what gamers should get to have a future proof pc ;-)
