You didn't answer question 7. Please answer it.

RAM wise, you won't notice a difference between DDR3 1333 and DDR3 1866 RAM in real world games. As such, don't spend the extra money for 1866 unless you really really love synthetic benchmars and epeen. Stick with DDR3 1333 RAM.

CPU wise, for just gaming, there's no difference between the 2600K and the 2500K. So go with the 2500K to save some money. Only get the 2600K if A) you can get it for the same price as the 2500K or B) you're planning on doing a lot of video, music, or 3D rendering/editing/modeling work.
 
aight thanks he mostly wants to have high fps ingame to fraps cause his pc right now lags when he runs fraps. ill look into the changes

Yeah that's related to the GPU and HDD IIRC.
