Drop the sound card, the built in one is more than good enough unless your in the music business or an audiophile.

Why are you getting the 2500k, just for the Bf3? if its to overclock later down the line they I would get a better heatsink. Rest looks great man enjoy.

yeh just to support the graphics card? is there no need?

Personally I would get the K as it can work out alot better in the long run, and you get a free BF3. Its just I get a feel of anti overclocking here. If you wanna overclock get a better cooler and enjoy the extra speed well worth it .

there is no need to overclock an i5 and wont be for a while, and even then you shouldnt unless you have a very good case and a good CPU cooler, you also dont want to blow your warranty if something breaks because of it, im personally completely against overclocking unless you have experience or you have nothing to lose

id only recommend getting the k version atm for the free copy of bf3
