For right now all I know want for sure is to use the i7 2600k to build my system around. I really want to overclock it as well. I have been thinking about a ASRock P67 EXTREME4 for my motherboard, but not sure. If yall have any suggestions for other motherboards, grahics cards, memory, cooling systems, and power supplies. I'm trying to keep it at about $1500-$1750.
Get a Msi p67A-GD53. Its great for overclocking and is a good price. Also if you don't need hyperthreading then get an i5 2500k. Get 8gb corsair low profile 1600mhz. Psu I would get a corsair ax model as they come with nice black cables. Graphics would depend on your monitor(s) and what games or software you wish to use. Also a 120gb OCZ vertex 3 solid state drive.
Motherboard, CPU and memory is $446 on newegg. Then pick a case, tell us what resolution your monitor is and what games you play or software you use and we can Reccommend a gpu and a relevant power supply. After that it's just add the ssd which is $250 and a Asus xonar ds soundcard for $50. That's $746 without case,graphics or power supply. Or If you really need the i7 2600k then it will cost $826 so far.
I'd try and get something like this, as donok said if you don't need the hyperthreading maybe change to the 2500k, and get a gtx 580 instead, or up the board to something like the asus p67 sabertooth, also i had no idea if you needed a monitor/keyboard/mouse, so left that out and just built you a system, hope that helps
As above, Asrock are a budget brand trying to do enthusiast builds. From what I've read it works well but not as well as your ASUS or Gigabyte boards!
