Hi all this is my first gaming build and after doing a bit of research I have come up with the following:

1 x GSKILL - 4GB Ripjaws X Series PC3-12800 Dual Channel DDR3 Kit (2 x 2GB) $39.99
1 x Seagate - 500GB Barracuda 7200.12 SATA III w/ 16MB Cache $39.99
1 x Corsair - Gaming Series GS 700W Power Supply $99.99
1 x Microsoft - Windows 7 Home Premium x64 (64-bit) DVD - OEM $119.99
1 x Intel - Coreâ„¢ i5-2500K Processor, 3.30GHz w/ 6MB Cache $214.99
1 x Scythe - Mugen 2 Rev. B CPU Cooler $34.99
1 x Asus - P8P67-M Rev 3.0 w/ Dual DDR3 1600, 7.1 Audio, Gigabit Lan, 1394, Quad CrossFireX $129.99
