Thinking of building a new computer. Need some suggestions.

[DrCactus]

Hi guys. Looking to get a new computer. My current one is pretty decent, but I wanna make a new one.
I'm looking for something That can run games on the Dolphin emulator at the highest settings, and most new/modern games at the max settings.
I can probably scrounge together $800 or so. Also, I already have a monitor.

Is this a good one?

You picked a 2500K and a H67 mobo, meaning that when Haswell comes out, you'll be two generations behind. With your price range, the best CPU for now would be the 3570K, which is based on Ivy Bridge.

Thanks for the headsup!
I won't be getting a soundcard then. and yes, I'll be reusing the case and Power Supply.
