What kind of games? Anything in particular you want to play

battelfield 3,crysis 2,etc

What resolution and length are we talking?

mostly 1080p but it can go higher.

though not 4k as i won't be going that high atm

what kind of  existing wireless infrastruture do you have (modem/router etc)

only a router

n-150mbps wifi,4 100mbps ethernet

 

Some Question's from my side :

 

2600K will be slightly better than the 2500k for video/audio encoding but have no real impact on anything else, the 2700K is slightly better again but for video encoding nothing out now beats the 3960X/3930K and if you are going to be encoding a lot of 1080p video (hours of video) it may be worth investing in but it's really really expensive. How long it will hadle heavy tasks will depend on the tasks, if the tasks stay the same yes but if you are planning to move to movie making with a 4K camera in the future you will want to upgrade.

doesn't GPU give any support in video encoding?

what is 2600k and extrmem good for in video resolutions encoding separately

Mostly irrelevant for DDR3 today, higher you go lower the increase in performance and much higher cost.

so these don't matter?

DDR3-2000/PC3-16000

DDR3-1600/PC3-12800

DDR3-1333/PC3-10666

DDR3-2133/PC3-17000

 

Ignore this value, focus on the wireless spec 802.11g/n etc, get n devices it's the newest, best fastest spec.

those values should be important as mouse and keboard don't run on wifi

also is it good to get a modular or normal power supply

So you will want a high end GPU then

 

1080p is pretty heavy so you will need a lot of HDD, RAM and a good CPU

 

GPU can help but not all programs support it so it may not be a good idea to relly on it to heavily especially with editing a lot CPU is still really important. It may be worth checking what programs you will be using.

 

It does make a difference but it's not huge and offers diminishing returns higher you go, usally you are usally better spending money on other things tho I wouldn't go below DDR3-1600 for a high performance PC like you are building.
