Things I'm not sure about:

Get i7 or i5.
Whether to buy 1 GTX 680 or get 2 1.25GB GTX 570's.
Get a SSD with the PC.
Razer or Logitech(Mouse and Keyboard).
I use wireless/wired(but can't get it to reach my room) broadband, so before choosing wireless option, I heard about the Homeplug, I don't know whether to choose that because I have never used it and I'm not sure if it gives you faster connection or not(help me with this).

If this build is perfect/good, I will be ordering this next week .

Thanks
Ash

The build as it stands is good.

For gaming alone, an i5 is pretty much identical to an i7, as hardly any games use the hyperthreading that the i7 offers. For the future (if you can afford it) get the i7.

Get a 680 for sure, that way you can add a 2nd later if needs be.

no idea on the mouse or keyboard, so i will skip that.

With homeplugs you will need atleast 2, 1 for your router and one for your PC. A couple of people on the forums say these are brilliant, but i have never used them. I fine wireless perfectly fine but im not that far away from the router, homeplugs give you better stability, but not really faster than wireless when your only surfing the web. For gaming it would be better but only slightly

From your reply i have decided these:

Drop SSD
Gone for a less expensive mouse and keyboard from research.

Or shall i go for i5K instead of i7?

Or shall i go for i5K instead of i7?

Well an i5K is pretty much the same as a normal i5, it's just unlocked for easier overclocking, so unless you were planning on overclocking you would see the same difference between an i5 and i7 as an i5K and i7

 

[mantadog]

Did you also add a 2nd homeplug, or do you already have one?

 

[Atuleon]

SSD can make loading games/startup 3x faster. It's just deciding whether this is worth the extra cost or not. I would personally always pick a better graphics card over SSD, under the thinking "once you finally get into a game, it will look better" But if you can afford a GTX680 and SSD you will see the benefit.

Take Mantadog's advice and definitely stick to the GTX680 over 2x GTX570s ^^

Kind regards,
