CPU, Mobo, RAM: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Graphics Card: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] Two of these.

I have a PC case already, and 2TB Hard drive, plus a CD Drive.

Monitors: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] Two of these also.

And, just to be cheeky, these for my Xbox aswell. ;) [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

That will be a really good PC, can run any game. However, ivybridge has been released so you may want to look into that. Nevertheless, i5 2500k will still be an excellent CPU.

Get an SSD (Solid State Drive) to install your OS on.

It will greatly improve PC speed.

I would definitely upgrade to those components, The i5 2500k CPU is brilliant and will definitely speed up your computer, however games are improving in Graphics and such like so sooner or later you will need to upgrade again :/

You won't need to upgrade a 2500k + SLI'd 560 ti's anytime soon. Yes, new video cards and CPU's come out quite frequently, but you don't need the highest end card - it's a want and pure bragging rights. I want a 690, but my 560 ti's run all the games I play so it's not needed.

OP, it's nice - I hope you have a case that has descent ventilation since the 560's will blow hot air into the case. A quality PSU is a must as well. z77 board would be nice if you would eventually utilize PCIE 3.0 ( even those there is like a 1% difference and is backwards compatible ) and IB.

Just saying, I would wait a month because the prices on 2500k's are falling rapidly as the new Ivy Bridge CPUs are coming out, I saw one for 150

GTX 560 :/ There not the best, instead of getting 2 just get a 580 or maybe wait for the 670.

But a 2500k is a great CPU and 8GB of RAM is plenty.
