@ OP

Computer case: Thermaltake Black Dokker ugly but works

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z68XP-UD3 Intel Mainboard - LGA 1155 this or asus, in your budget, look @ h61

Processor: Intel CPU Core i5-2500K - LGA 1155 get the normal 2500 not the K, you dont need it

RAM: Kingston DDR3 4GB PC-10600/1333 CL9 Value Ram x3 = total 12 g ram triple channel fail, get a corsair/gskill 8gb(2x4Gb) kit, you wont even use that much

Video card: Gigabyte ATI RADEON 6850 OC 1GB for this price, grab a gtx560 (NOT Ti)

Hard drive: Seagate Barracuda Green 2TB any seagate, hitachi, samung 1tb, NOT A GREEN drive

Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 Premium, Service Pack 1, 64-bit – OEM

Where is your power supply? Kingston RAM is also pretty shitty. Change the case to something decent.
