About to buy a new machine, my good old 3ghz c2d is dying on me. Thought i'd ask what you guys think of it. My budget is about 1000€. Just want a machine to play any games with (sc2, battlefield3, D3,...).
Intel 1155 4 Core - Core i5-2500 3.30Ghz Cache 6MB 225 €
Zalman 9900 Max Led Ultra Performance 65 €
Intel s1155 i3-5-7 DDR3 - Asus P8P67-M, P67, 2xPCIe,1394 - Sound 7.1xPCIe 124 €
Corsair DDR3 - 1600 Mhz - 8GB Corsair Vengeance Heatspreader ( 2x4Go ) 90 €
WD Caviar Green Sata3 - 2 Tb - 64 Mb Cache 91 €
PCX Nvidia - 560 - Geforce GTX560 - 1024MB DDR5 - Dual DVI 219 €
Sata - DVD Burner LG Dual 8,5 Go / DVD±R /±RW / CD±RW Black 29 €
Coolermaster - Coolermaster Case Haf 922 - No PSU 118 €
OCZ ModXStream Pro 600W,80+ Modulair,140mm Fan 89 €
Gaming Logitech - G500 Laser mouse USB 59 €
Total:1109€
Not sure if 600W is enough or not. I saw the cpu take about 130W under load. about 300(!) for the GPU under load. Thinking 600 should be enough but i'd like to be sure.
See anything room for improvement left? Recommend a cheaper place to buy from maybe ? I live in Brussels Belgium. I would like to avoid ordering all the parts separately. I prefer not having to put it together myself even tho i could.
Thx guys.

It helps if you post where you are ordering from, what you aim to use the computer for, your resolution and so on.
Do you mean to overclock? In that case you want the i5-2500k. Otherwise it's unneccesary to buy an aftermarket cpu heatsink and a p67 board. You can save money on getting 1333 Mhz as it only gives you minor improvemnt. You can get an ~500 W psu for cheaper for that build. Consider choosing a cheaper case as the 922 is oversized and not that good relative to other cases in it's price range. The 912+ is usually a better alternative if you want coolermaster. Depending on what you want to use it for you probably want to eaither get a cheaper or a bit more expensive graphic card. The 560 Ti is usually a better choice at that price range you have.

Thanx Rachnar i modified the config a little and got http://www.topachat.com/pages/configomatic.php?z0=in10047452&z1=in10048936&z2=in10047161&z3=in10047201&z4=in10049795&z5=in10047093&z7=inn522&z10=in10035442&z11=in10043442&tm=14_10_2011_11:20:30
850 euros for exactly the same thing. pretty good.
Gruff, i said i wanted a computer to play on  BF3,D3,SC2 etc.. Don't need overclocking. I'm thinking 500W is cutting it close as the GPU + CPU under heavy load will use about 450... Was gonna order from microcity.be but i see now that it is a bad idea I have 2 flat screens, a 1080p screen (1920 x 1080) and another screen slightly smaller (1280*960 afaik).
1.3ghz ram almost as good as 1.6? I thought bus speed was super important and ram is soo cheap these days anyways. What mobo would you recommend? i just always went with asus.
I don't really care what case i get as long as it has good airflow. I'll look for the 912.
Here's what i got now on Rachnar's website.
Processeur Intel Core i5 2500K (3.3 GHz) 194.50 € (might aswell get the latest one it's only 10 euros more)
MOBO Asus P8P67-M (Rev. B3) 104.90 €
Ventirad Zalman CNPS9900 MAX Blue 52.99 €
Kit dual Channel DDR3 Corsair Vengeance, 2 x 4 Go, PC3-12800, CAS 9 44.90 €
Gainward GeForce GTX 560 Ti, 1 Go 209.90 €
Seagate Barracuda Green, 2 To 62.90 €
DVD Burner interne 22X, Topachat 15.90 €
Case PC Cooler Master HAF 912 Plus Noir 78.99 €
PSU StealthXStream II, 600 W, OCZ 59.99 €
TOTAL : 824.97 €
maybe i'll throw in a SSD since it's way lower then my budget, thinking i need that more then an i7.

if you're going for a non "k" processor, you should get a H67 mobo instead. "k" processors are multiplier unlocked processors and they need the p67 motherboard to change the multiplier. im not sure about the other parts keke

A 500W PSU is more than enough for a Single GPU configuration computer. ALSO for Windows 7 64-bit you only need ~20Gig's of memory, so a 32Gig SSD would be more than enough for the OS and SC2.

You dont need such an expensive h67 mobo
You dont need a cpu heatsink since you will get one with the cpu itself
Your paying twice the price you should for the ram ....
Why get the gainward when for 10 euros less you can have the asus that comes with a freegame and has better cooling ?
Get a crucial M4 SSD
Thats a 5400 rpm HDD you selected, only good for storage
rest i guess is ok, even thoguh the psu is overkill
