I'm assuming you're in the US. This is your ordering the parts and building yourself, right?

Go with 1600mhz RAM. Not that much more and it'll be faster.

Get a 2500k so you can overclock the CPU. And get an aftermarket cooler. I recommend the CM hyper 212+.

Is this the PSU you're looking for?

If so, here's a cheaper/better PSU (With rebate) (And a $20 gift card if you order by the 31st.)

What do you mean upgrade to the EVGA 560ti? Post the video cards you're trying to decide on.
 
Sorry to interfer, what's the crucial point in selecting a PSU, such as what makes it a good psu, +12V@?? Effiency in the high 80's?

Click to expand...

Amount of amps on the 12v rail, quality in parts used, efficiency, and 80+ certified. The thermaltake he chose is a good unit, it seems like, but the one I posted has a rebate, a little more amps on the 12v rail, and a gift card with it.

There are also brands to look for and brands to avoid, and brands that have some good and bad units.
