I ask for advice on computer configuration (50 - 55 thousand rubles)?

Dear! Need advice on buying a computer. For 50-55 thousand I want to assemble this:
Motherboard : Socket1155 GIGABYTE "GA-P67A-UD3P-B3" (iP67, 4xDDR3, SATA III, SATA II, RAID, 2xPCI-E, SB, 1Gb LAN, USB2.0, USB3.0, ATX)
Processor : Intel "Core i7-2600" (3.40GHz, 4x256KB+8MB, EM64T, GPU) Socket1155
Cooler : Socket478/754/775/939/940/115x/1366/AM2/AM3 Scythe "Katana III SCKTN-3000"
Memory : 2x2GB DDR3 SDRAM Kingston "ValueRAM" KVR1333D3N9K2/4G (PC10600, 1333MHz, CL9)
HDD : 1000GB Seagate "Barracuda 7200.12 ST31000524AS" 7200rpm, 32MB PCI-E
card : 56MB (SATA III) Palit "GeForce GTX 580" (GeForce GTX 580, DDR5, 2xDVI, HDMI, DP)
Case: Miditower Thermaltake "V6 Black Edition" VM100M1W2Z-A, ATX, black (without PSU)
PSU : 800W FSP "Epsilon 80PLUS 800 PPA8000112" ATX12V V2.3 (20/24+4+4/8+6/8, d120mm) + EURO power cable (1.8m)
CD/DVD drive : 24x8x16xDVD/48x24x48xCD ASUS "DRW-24B3LT", black (SATA)
Can anything be improved (respecting the budget :-)?
The purpose of the computer is home/work. I work with almost all software - from Notepad++ to Pinnacle Studio, and I really appreciate graphics in games :-)

The config proposed by the author of the question is significantly cheaper than the declared 50,000. I will offer the following for 50,000:
1. The i7 2600K processor - because it is top-end, it can be overclocked as you like, and it is only slightly more expensive than the analogue without "K".
2. Scythe Ninja 3 cooler - because it is much more efficient and quieter than Katana, and if desired, it can be used in passive mode.
3. Intel 320 series 120 GB SSD drives - because a good SSD from a reliable manufacturer with the best price / quality ratio on the market.
HITACHI Deskstar 5K3000 2TB hard drive - because important programs will fit on a fast ssd, and the hard drive will be a quiet file cleaner.
4. HousingThermaltake Element V - because the author has already chosen Thermaltake. And this particular model gives the system a solid look, while being well and quietly ventilated and equipped with dust filters. However, the case is a matter of taste.
5. Asrock Z68 PRO3 motherboard if the author never wants to install SLI, or Asrock Z68 Extreme4 if this possibility is allowed - because the boards are reasonably priced compared to competing products, having everything that can be useful.
6. Memory 4x4 GB Hynix 1333 MHz - because the budget allows, the manufacturer is normal, and a higher frequency is not needed.
7. Video card SPARKLE GeForce GTX 580, SXX5801536D5NM - because it is an inexpensive reference 580ka, which is currently the fastest single-chip.
8. BPTHERMALTAKE TR2 RX TRX-650MPCEU, 650W or the already named FSP if an SLI configuration is possible in the future - because just high-quality PSUs of adequate power.
9. Any optical drive, because they still use it once every six months.
Total: 50 ~ 55 thousand, depending on whether to leave a backlog for SLI or not.
If I collected it for myself, I would save on the processor (2500k), video card (570), memory (8GB), case (something quiet like Sonata Elite), PSU (550-600 reliable W) - it would turn out up to 40 thousand and almost indistinguishable by eye in terms of speed.

It is worth taking another memory - at higher frequencies. And more, more!

Hard can be replaced.
Take one for 10k revolutions - albeit not a terabyte, but the speed will succumb significantly with large disk operations (movies, huge databases).
www.ulmart.ru/goods/203395/ Better
memory is needed, of course.
The drive can be replaced with a BluRay, at least for a combo, or immediately writing 23 GB to a disc =) An excellent addition to the pinnacle.
I can get you a discount on yulmart, citylink, fcenter

>Processor: Intel "Core i7-2600" (3.40GHz, 4x256KB+8MB, EM64T, GPU) Socket1155 If
you want a new i7, then take 2600K, which will give you the ability to overclock. Although personally, I don’t see the point in overpaying for a top-end i7 when you can take an i5 2500K which is a third cheaper and at the same time you will hardly notice the difference even in games (5-10% maximum, and even then not in all). It’s better to take an ssd for the difference, the sensations from a system that flies will be much better than ssd gigs by 120 (you can also by 80, but 120 models have more speed). Take intel x25-m or if you can't find 320 series. Or you can take the Crucial C300, they have a higher speed but a smaller guarantee . I would take a better case, it is important in terms of silence. For example: Cooler Master ATCS 840
In general, I advise you to read the ixbt.com forum, a lot of useful information.
Get a 2TB hard drive right away, they are cheap now, you can look in the direction of WD.
More memory. 4GB is not enough today, but you still need to think about the future. Set at least 8.
I would not buy a drive at all, who needs it now. Consider how often you have used the drive and whether you need it. In extreme cases, pull out of the old computer / take an unnecessary one from a friend.

Memory would take 8GB, with a higher frequency. With a video card, I'm not entirely sure, I would take the Radeon HD 6990 (here are the test results tyk )

Something of memory is really not enough for such a price.
As for the cooler, I have Katana II on my desktop. So it is not bad, but the direction where the fan blows is not quite traditional. I had to remove the tunnel in the case during assembly, because. it is designed for a different location of the radiator and fan, and the cooler with the tunnel together - they just don't fit in. It's okay, of course, just take note.
It won’t hurt to take an SSD as a system disk if you don’t fit into the budget - you can move a little with the processor and / or video, because. you won’t lose much in performance, and the SSD will pay off handsomely.
RAID 0, IMHO, does not justify itself. I myself have two hard drives (albeit old ones) in the desktop in it, I try to keep something important on them, so - the “Downloads” folder, a folder with toys and a swap. Performance by eye can not be seen, SSD is definitely better for normal work.
Well, RAID1 and everything above doesn’t justify itself at home, high fault tolerance is not needed, the random access time does not really decrease, and the costs are decent ...

The gigabyte mother needs to be changed to ASUS P6T. Although this is a matter of taste and bias towards brands :)
+ disk size is not as important as RAM, if you need to regularly use something heavy (virtual computers, VS etc), I collected i7 with 12GB of memory for about the same money
+ if work is important with a lot of small files - mb worth thinking about an additional SSD

Dear commenters, thank you very much for your help and your time! I took everything into account, I will wool ixbt and make the final decision.
PS I use an optical cutter several times a month - to my grandfather's dacha for audiobooks :-)

Collect something for thirty thousand. And do something useful for the rest.
