I'm planning on building a gaming computer nearing Christmas, and I'm starting to plan out my build. This will be my first build and I'd like to make it last. I plan on continually upgrading it (probably yearly) and slowly turning it into a better machine while adding any new products that come out. I realize that new hardware may come out before I build it in Christmas, but might as well start planning now.
With that said, I'm not on a completely strict budget (yet), but I would like to keep the computer below $750. I have my peripherals picked out already (R.A.T 5, AOC 20" Widescreen LED Monitor, ThermalTake KB-CHP001US eSports Challenger. Already have a gaming headset. Feel free to critique the peripherals, also.) and it will end up being around $1,000 at the end.
Anyway, this computer will be used mostly for gaming and a bit of video/graphics editing, so a strong video card and some good memory are must. I'd honestly prefer an Intel i5 2500k processor, but it would probably be more cost effective to get a AMD x4 Phenom II BE. I'm also REALLY wanting a GeForce GTX 560 Ti, as it is a recommendation for BF3 coming out in a few weeks; a game I really want to play. Everything else is basically up for negotiation. I'd just like to get some input on what I should do.
Here is a short build I wrote up that may work. I do not know much about various parts, though, so please help me out and tell where I could improve it. Could some also please confirm for me that this build would be completely compatible?
AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition Quad Core Processor - $115
Asus M4A88T-V EVO USB3 Motherboard - $100
Kingston KHX1600C9D3B1K2/8GX DDR3 8GB (2x4GB) RAM - $55
EVGA GeForce GTX 560 Ti - $250
Western Digital 1TB Caviar Black Hard Drive 7200RPM 64MB - $80
Asus DRW-24B3ST/BLK/G/AS Internal 24x CD/DVD Drive - $25
Cooler Master RC-310-RWN1-GP Elite 310 Mid-Tower Case - $40
Corsair CMPSU-750TXV2 Enthusiast Series TX750 V2 750-Watt - $95

Thanks in advance, guys.
