Well guys, I am going to order these parts today and I need a green signal from you guys, but first of all, let me say Thank You all for all those valuable suggestions and answers. Toms Hardware proved very useful to me while making my first build. Now I feel somewhat noob from total noob :D
Here is the my rig configuration

2500K
Asus p8z68 v le
1tb sata hdd (not sure which one to buy)
DVD RW drive (again, not sure which one)
Psu:650 Watts
2 GB x2 DDR 3 ram, transcend probably.

23" BenQ monitor.(will it be good?)

that's all..I quite don't know which case I will buy.
For me, deciding mobo and CPU was the toughest part, I am waiting for your suggestions and comments on rest of my system.
Also let me know if something is wrong with the setup above. I am waiting eagerly..

I'll remark about the monitor. Benq is very spotty. Some models are good, others, not so much. It's kinda hit or miss with Benq. You might want to go with a 24" Asus instead. I have a couple of different ones, and they're both really good quality.

I highly recommend this monitor in particular:
Asus VE248H Black 24" 1920X1080 2ms Full HD HDMI LED Backlight LCD Monitor w/Speakers 250 cd/m2 10,000,000:1

As for the hard drive. It's a no brainer to me:
Western Digital Caviar Black WD1002FAEX 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6822136533

As for the DVD burner, pioneer is the best out there:
Pioneer CD/DVD Burner 24X DVD+R 12X DVD+R DL 24X DVD-R Black SATA Model DVR-219BK - OEM

For the PSU, Corsair has proven themselves to me time and time again. In particular, I like either this PSU or the modular version of it:
CORSAIR Enthusiast Series TX650 V2 650W ATX12V v2.31/ EPS12V v2.92 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC High Performance Power Supply

or the modular version:

For memory, you can't go wrong with G. Skill low profile 1.5 V ram:
G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-4GBNQ
