So will it work? Will it run the games on max settings? Will it be future proof (such as will I be able to run BF3 or Diablo 3 and other games)?
Please be nice!Will this be a beastly gaming desktop?
Excellent build. Everything's compatible.
I'm not sure the Sound card is significantly (any?) better than the built in 7.1 audio on the motherboard, but that's your call.
The GTX 570 will max out most games, though it might have issues maxing them out on a 1080p display with ridiculously high levels of Anti-Aliasing. You'll certainly get excellent frame rates. The processor will have no trouble keeping up.
You'll be able to run any game for the next 3-4 years. The only future trick that might catch you is the switch to stereoscopic 3D (True 3D) with the glasses and 3D monitor. That would benefit from a video card with 2GB of video ram.
Just make sure to get the 64-bit version of Windows. I can't tell from the descriptions if the SATA cables are included with the motherboard or hard drive, so that might be a minor item. I know that no cable is included with anything marked OEM such as your CD/DVD drive.
If you have the knowledge to put something like this together you'd be able to tell that this is a capable gaming computer.Will this be a beastly gaming desktop?

I would buy this RAM since it's better suited for a 1155 system. Gigabyte motherboards are picky about memory.
Have you checked out the prices at ncix.ca or newegg.ca. Newegg does have combo deals and you could save some money that way. This EVGA GTX 570 is clocked a lot higher than the one you picked and it's cheaper if you don't count the rebate. It's probably 10% faster than a standard GTX 570.

Yeah, if you want to max Crysis 2 on DX 11 the minimum card you will need is a GTX 570
It seems that newegg.ca has the Core i5-2500k for much cheaper.

Since the USD and the CAD are about equal the prices should be the same as well. Looks like newegg is the only company who's somewhat honest about that.
I would assemble a shopping cart with both, look at the total shipping cost, and look at any combo deals that can save you money. NCIX does have free shipping. With the money you'd save over tiger you could go for a GTX 580.
The computer should be considered a graphics powerhouse for the next 2 years. The next 2 years after that games will be playable. Year 5 is when you have to question replacing the system.
Like the other guy said if u were smart enough to but this build together u already know the answer... but i have a tool that may help you out too. I love passmark.com they have benchmarks on basically every cpu and gpu on the market so you see if you can do better for the money. Anyway that said i like that you picked the cpu you did, having it on intels newer socket will allow for future upgrades when prices come down u could say like double your power. The gpu is great. It is the second most powerful benchmarked single card on the market. And with just 1 u will be futurproofed for quit some time. Since u mentioned the hard drive lol, it is actually quite good lots of cache and being on a sata3 port will be good. I actually just bought one for a htpc but it was the 1TB model. I cant really say more i guess... maybe if u wanted to go with a cheaper card in sli, maybe if u wanted to go smaller hdd but do some in a raid for same space more speed? these are all little tweaks that are not even necessary i would say u have a hell of a build here go with it.
Edit: dam lol i type slow, there was only 1 answer in when i started my answer. Anyway dam Adam makes a good suggestion on yet another answer i am in lol. As far as the ssd thing goes he is right they re very fast i have a vertex2 myself on my macbook ant it boots in under 10sec every time. But i wanted to interject on this comment. You are not building an extreme system here right? Spending alot of cash on an ssd is a good idea... but... it is a tad unnecessary. They speed up everything from boot time to how fast your web browser comes up its great if u want things to happen in like 1 second not 10 but if you are willing to wait i would say just keep the 2TB drive honestly the failure rates are not that high its more of if u have a good drive from the start then it probably wont die. Anyway like i was saying you are not going for some extreme system so if u have the 2TB now and get a ssd when they come even further down in price (they will just u wait) and the fact that u will be able to get the sata3 ssd's will mean u will be able to buy them in the future so just keep that in mind.
Edit 2: The guy below me is right bout the newegg thing i would have sugested it but i didnt want to insult you choice. most people pick one place they like and stick to it i love newegg but i have freinds that will swear by tigerdirect to the death. Newegg has great deals and tiger has its moments too, just check the prices on both they are both good and again have fun.Will this be a beastly gaming desktop?
I'm actually building a Gaming Rig with similar components :) But to answer your question yes those parts would be adequate. The only thing I would change is the Hard Drive. Invest in a 120GB SSD for the OS and the majority of your games. This would provide an overall better experience when gaming and everyday usage. Then pick up a smaller 7200RPM drive for your media. 500GB - 1TB drives would be good. I'd really recommend doing this as large drives(%26gt;1TB) have a higher probability of failing.
I'm going to recommend this SSD since I've got one and have been using it with no problems :)

Hope I helped :)
P.S --%26gt; Check this out http://www.geforce.com/#/Hardware/GPUs/geforce-gtx-570/performance
Please be nice and critize,,,,,,,,,, interesting.
answers you picked a nice system, the sound card will slow down somewhat everything you are trying to accomplish, if you use the sound card that comes on the motherboard you will be better off, the other things is. There are only three power supplies makers that most true gamers would go with, one is seasonic, the other corsair, the other Antec. If you can replace the cooler master with the tx 750 you should have noooooooooooooooo problems. If your power supply goes out, it can take the other parts with it, like the nice 570, and the motherboard and anything else plug directly or indirectly to the motherboard no need to ask people to be nice, you know what it is, they will be how they are, somewhat selfish and know too much, thats just my two sense. If you ask a question, just ask it in respect and you probably will attract respect. anyways nice system change the power supply and dont use the sound card you are thinking of getting
you should be okay, make sure its all compatable, i think it is but didnt look at it all to hard, im doing the same thing, but id say get 4x2 2GB for the ram
