      Now another question:

      My current PSU is Silverstone SST-ST75ZF 750 Watt.

      New one will be Absolute 1000W 80+Certified.
      Is this ok?
      Yes, a 1000W will be great. A major problem with people building computers and I've seen it time and again over the years is underpowering their components which leads to very strange almost untraceable behavior. This will be great. As for video cards, my dream would be 3x GTX 580s, but that would run quite a bit of money, but it's what I want for sure . They're $519/ea (newegg) and only 1.5gb cards, so it's definitely not the best deal and I haven't done my video card homework, just wanted to let you know I have 2x460's and they run very hot...

      Also, the i7 2600 is best in class and you'll be very happy with the performance

        If you are planning on ever overclocking this thing, make sure that you spring the few extra bucks for the 2600K as opposed to the 2600.

          And don't forget that you need a motherboard for i7 2600 with socket 1155 and not 1156!
          Take a look at this:

          If you are planing to use VrayRT the 3GB is very useful.

            I bought the 2600 Delux. Is this fine ?

            I will ask about this.

              There should only be two kinds of 2600...so I think 'delux' would probably infer the unlocked multiplier version. If there was another slightly cheaper version of the 2600 available then you should have the correct one.

              I recently built a new personal computer on the 1155 socket, i3 2105...it was the least fuss I have ever had putting a computer together myself, I was actually a little disappointed that I didn't have to troubleshoot something.
