Need your advise!

Well, I decided to buy a new computer, but I'm still not so sure about setup.

Here what I've got right now:

CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.66 Ghz
MotherBoard: Gigabyte X38-DS4
HDD: Samsung 500 GB
Graphics: GeForce 9600 GT 512 MB
Memory: 4GB Kingston DDR2

Here what I'm thinking of buying:

Motherboard: S1155 ATX GIGABYTE - GA-P67A-D3-B3 P67 (about 87€)
CPU: Intel Core i5 - 2500K BOX 3.3GHZ 6MB LGA1155 (about 211€)
Memory: DDR3 - 1600MHZ 8GB 2x4GB - KINGSTON HYPERX CL9 XMP GREY (about 46€)
Graphics: GTX560 1024MB 256 BIT - ASUS DDR5 MHDMI DCII OC (about 185€)
HDD: S-ATA 3.5" WD CAVIAR - WD10EARS 1TB 64MB (about 102€)
AC: ATX OCZ - OCZ-ZS750W - EU 750W BRONZE (about 83€)

What do you guys think of this? I'm not really sure how much more I could spend on that PC, but I think it would be like 80-100€ more.

Cheers!

Haha, funny you mentioned that. Actually I had 2 at the same time (decided to leave old gym - shitloads of people - and went to a new one).

HDDs cost too much atm, so don't buy one unless you really need it.
PSU is overkill - 500-600W will be enough.
+1 about what HellKn1ght said about HDD's ^ ..Try to keep the one you have, if it's good.
650W psu max for that rig imo
Well actually my HDD is fucked up, dont know if its of any use anymore. Using 40GB right now, just so I can keep going on my projects + ET.
