hey guys its me again lol i have another friend asking for a new gaming computer this is what i have thrown together but he wants to spend 675 he already has a monitor and keyboard mouse and a 64bit version of windows 7 so that will save from the over all cost but this is what i got so where can i cut somethings down to make it 675? he also wants it for video editing, as for gaming he is going to be doing mainly MMOs on it the main game he is wanting for this is Diablo 3 so i need some help from yall or is it even possible?

Intel Core i5-2500K Sandy Bridge 3.3GHz

GIGABYTE GA-Z68A-D3H-B3 LGA 1155 Intel Z68

G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600

XFX PRO750W

MSI R6870 Twin Frozr II Radeon HD

Seagate Barracuda 1TB 6.0Gb/s SATA

ASUS 24X DVD Burner SATA

COOLER MASTER HAF 912

total for all this is at 925 off of newegg so let the slicing begin lol i dont even know what to down grade other then the GPU and PSU really :( the only reason im not dropping it to 4GB on the RAM is because of the video editing he wants to do :/

thank you see this is why i come here before i make mistakes in trying to do it myself that dropped it down to 810 any more suggestions?
 
still need to drop 125 off this build looks like i need to start downgrading some parts doesnt it? where can i make that happen at that would be the best?
 
i3-2100 will still perform great, also, do you already have windows?

See if there is a microcenter around, can save 90 for the 2500k combo'd with mobo, and get kingston or corsair 1600 for like 35 i think.
 
so should i go with the i3-2100 or the i3-2120? integrated graphics do not matter since ill be going with the radeon 6870 also i couldnt find kingston 1600 8gb for that cheap they where only 5 bucks cheaper then the ripjaw
