This thread is what it sounds like. I'm going to be ordering my build soon - very soon. As in tomorrow, soon.

My proposed build is as follows:

CPU: i5 2500k
GPU: 560 Ti
RAM: 2x4GB DDR3 RAM (found this on special for like $10 more than 4GB alone)
CASE: COOLER MASTER RC-692-KKN3 CM690 II
HDD: SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 HD103SJ 1TB 7200 RPM
PSU: Antec EarthWatts EA-650 GREEN 650W ATX12V
OS: Windows 7
MOBO: GIGABYTE GA-Z68A-D3H-B3 LGA 1155 Intel Z68 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
DISC: ASUS DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS Black SATA 24X DVD Burner
Wireless: Rosewill RNX-G300EX Wireless Card IEEE 802.11b/g PCI

Now. Am I forgetting anything, here? Any obvious incompatibilities that just jump out at you? Obviously better parts I could slap in at these price ranges?

My goal is to max out Starcraft II (bahahaha) and run Witcher 2 at 1080p with some bells and whistles on. Will this build suffice?

Haven't kept in touch since some time last year, but does the i5 sandy bridge chip support dual channel or tripple channel memory?

Edit: Nevermind found my own answer, yeah it's dual.

I'm not clear on what the difference would be, performance-wise. Or price-wise, for triple channel memory.

If it was like the older LGA 1366 architectures you would do much better to get triple channel RAM over dual channel (to simplify it, it basically goes in multiples of 3, not 2) and you'd eek out some better performance. The LGA 1155 (usual sandy bridge) does dual channel so you have nothing to worry about with your build. I was jsut wondering about the compatability.

Edit: From my brief research, I also heard that the i5 2500k is probably the most bang for the buck you can get.

seems good to me

That's a very good PC!

I don't find anything missing. Do you really need a wireless card?

MAXED Witcher 2 @ 1080p I wouldn't say... though I could be wrong... and I also could be an idiot that sucks at reading comprehension!
As far as Starcraft II goes, My old Pentium 4 w/Radeon 4650HD manages to max that out and still run @ 30FPS... and no, I am not kidding. Though my main PC is an i7 based laptop.

The only thing I would change in that build is that I'd swap your GPU for the AMD 6950 HD... the price is almost identical and it's somewhat more powerful. The ones I saw benchmarked run a little hotter than the GTX 560 ti, but they do run a bit faster. Myself, I recommend the Sapphire one. The cooling is well done on it.

If you're planning to overclock your GPU though, I'd stay with the 560. It runs cooler and OC's better, too.

get a solid sate HDD, or buy 2-3 500 GB HDD 7200 and RAID them. The one thing people forget when making PC is the HDD which is a important part in running games, I made that mistake and my system suffers for it with my HDD lagging it behind. I dont want to have to redownload over 100GB of stuff so i am going to have to slug it out until i do.

The placement of thhe PC would make a wired connection somewhat... difficult to obtain.

I picked the 560 Ti over the 6950 specifically because it runs so much quieter and cooler, yeah.
