Building my first gaming rig.

[iViNtaGe]

I am very excited to be building my first rig. My budget for this is around 800-900$.

Anyone know any good motherboards I should consider? I want it to be comparable with an Intel i5 2500k and a GTX 570.

I also need to get a good case for around 100-150$. Anyone know any good ones.

And I also want to know about how much power i'll need to run this stuff. Maybe around 650w or so?

Thanks in advance.

Right now, i don't think you'll be able to fit an i5-2500K and a GTX570 in a $800-900 envelope, the GTX570 alone is over 300$ and so is the HD6970 (AMD's equivalent).

Here's an i5-2500K build that comes around $900: System Build - PCPartPicker.

You could cut back a bit on the HDD and get one with lower capacity and/or slower model like the caviar blue. You could possibly save a bit of money by going with a 500/550W PSU if you decide to keep the HD6870, but don't go too cheap, Rosewill PSUs are among the cheapest decent PSUs you can get without any deals, if you go for one of those very cheap PSUs like the coolmax brand, you're only asking for trouble.
