I5 are good for your money.

just double check the voltage for the RAM to see if your motherboard can give the correct output. Prob be 1.65v.  It a mistake im living with and can only use 4GB RAM not 8 =(

good build, i would get corsair vengeance over kingston hyper x, and a seasonic psu over the antec one, rest is very fine.
also, you could contemplate going for a blu-ray drive instead of dvd. they don't cost too much imo

LG BH10LS30

Whats the difference between 2x4GB RAM and 8GB RAM in practise? Here are the ram im thinking about
http://www.verkkokauppa.com/fi/product/ ... 00-1600MHz and
http://www.verkkokauppa.com/fi/product/ ... 00-1600MHz. Also these corsair ones are 1.5v and the kingston one is 1.65v, whats the difference? I tried to look for the output of the motherboard ive chosen like joe adviced but couldnt find any info about that :S.

About the psu, which one is better:
http://www.verkkokauppa.com/fi/product/ ... virtalahde
http://www.verkkokauppa.com/fi/product/ ... ahde-520-W or do i need a better one?

The graphics card i have chosen is overclocked and it costs 20€ more than the non overclocked version but is it worth it to pay 20€ extra? Also do i have to take the overclocking in concideration when choosing the other parts? or are the ones i've chosen already good for the overclokced graphics card?

when choosing seasonic, go for the seasonic x-560 (the x-series is what makes seasonic so great)
about your gpu, ye get the custom oc'ed one, you don't need to overclock anything with this computer, gtx 560 ti and i5-2500k are a perfect combination.
2x4GB is what you want

seems like the x series products are at least 2 times more costly  :-\

U can go along with the Antec. For what is has to offer it has a really cheap price. It is in the TOP 3 on PSU price comparison charts in Germany. The X-Series of Seasonic is a modular PSU and they have the advanatge that u don't have so much cable in ur case since u only put on the PSU only the cables u need. But i presume u are the kind of guy who puts his comp once together and doesn't open it again. So u can go along with the Antec. I personally also buy always the cheapest BRAND psu which suits my needs because i don't care about the rest. And they also deliver the power u need with high effiency

The Seasonic has also other advantages but they don't really matter because u are the kind of guy who will run his system withhin the specs of the manufacturer

If u want modular design u can also take a look at the ANtec TP-550

What is the difference between SATA 3gb/s (SATA2) and SATA 6gb/s (SATA3) in hard drives? Seems like the latter one costs like 10€ more.

So is 1.65v or 1.5v RAM better for the motherboard i've chosen?

Like you I can not find anything for the voltages. 1.5v would be a safe bet, but your motherboard cost like £50+ more than mine so it should be able to handle 1.65v

1.5V is better. that is the usual spec. U don't want to overclock and higher voltage means also higher power consumption
