Hi I am looking for a build that is based around having a 560 ti and i5 2500k. I don't really have a budget as I have enough money, but not that I want to spend on this build. Whatever the cheapest you can get this is without skimping on parts would be best. I have peripherals and only need the computer itself. I live in the US.

Few things that can be changed if you want -
If you plan on SLIing in the future, you may want to get a 750w PSU rather than the 650w.
Refer to the post below me regarding graphics cards.
Last, I'm guessing you want to overclock so I included the Hyper 212 Evo, but if you don't want to overclock then get the non-K 2500 and drop the Hyper 212 Evo.

Jesus. The 560ti 448 risen up in price last time I checked. You can get a 570 for that price.
-
Yah the GTX 560 Ti 448 doesn't make any sense at its current price point. You might as well spend the extra bit and get the rest of the cores on a GTX 570.

Thanks for all the help, but should I just wait for Ivy? Will it make that much of a difference, as I would rather not and just buy things sooner.
-
Ivy Bridge isn't going to bring anything massive in terms of performance over Sandy Bridge. Sandy Bridge prices will drop to make room for Ivy Bridge when it gets released. Nvidia's new graphic cards are also coming out on April. So unless you want the latest or to save extra cash on the current generation then waiting altogether until April is an option.

I think i'll just wait it out and try to find things on sale to save some money.
