    As title suggests im looking to upgrade my current machine for playing new games coming out soon such as Battlefield 3. Hoping to play on max detail. Looking to buy new CPU, RAM, Motherboard, HDD and Graphics card .

    Currently I have:
    Monitor: 22" Samsung 1680x1050 (will be buying a 24" 1080p monitor in coming months however)
    PSU: Corsair HX620 w
    HDD: WD 320GB and 500GB

    Want to replace:
    Motherboard: Gigabyte P35C DS3R
    CPU: Intel Core2Duo E6600 2.4GHz
    RAM: Corsair 2GB 6400
    Graphics Card: XFX 8800gtx


    Ive done a little bit of looking and I think ive already settled on getting a Intel Core i5-2500K CPU and some brand of Nvidia GTX 570 graphics card.

    But im totally lost on what RAM, HDD and Motherboard to get. Would like to have 8GB of RAM and maybe a 1TB+ HDD.

    Max Budget would be 700euro including delivery.

    Any help appreciated

    Cheers
