He wants to start playing some new games bf3 need for speed.

and a minimal amount of video editing software he is using is sony vagas.

So i helped him choose some parts?

Core i5 2500K

Gigabyte GA-P67A-UD4-B3

2x4GB G.Skill SNIPER Edition Dual Channel CL9-9-9-24

Corsair Force Series 3 60GB SSD Sata III.using to old sata 2 drives for storge

power supply.Corsair TX 750W....630 sheks

Graphics card is a gtx 560 My link

He is using his old case its a Thermaltake Soprano RS.

What do you guys think?
 
Everything looks shipshape! Except for thermaltacky, but case is most up to personal preference though.
 
Have you looked at maybe getting a 120Gb version of the drive instead, they are a little bit more stable when it comes to speed performance. Not sure if you think it is worth the extra price tag though. That motherboard is fairly good.
 
I think you have chosen wisely the system should perform quite well, see if the budget could stretch for a 120 ssd though.
 
What a great family we have here at oc3d you guys are great thanks for the help

I hope the case supports the hardware.

And his monitor is vga so he will need to get a DVI To VGA Converter he will buy a new monitor in a few mouths
