First time PC builder, need advice/confirmation

I'm in the final steps of configuring my new machine. I'm set on CPU, video card, and DVD (lol), but I need advice on everything else. I listed below the components that I chose or am looking at, and for some components I also included the range of products from which I chose the selected few below. I use Newegg for reference, but that may change.

Also I should note that even though I'm going to go with 2x GTX 460's initially, I may upgrade them to 2x GTX 560's or 560 TI in the future (keep in mind for the PSU)

CPU

• Intel Core i5-2500K Sandy Bridge 3.3GHz (3.7GHz Turbo Boost) 4 x 256KB L2 Cache 6MB L3 Cache LGA 1155 95W Quad-Core Desktop Processor BX80623I52500K- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115072

Motherboard

This is my biggest concern. I'm not sure which brand is most reliable.. For example, I keep reading horror stories in Newegg reviews for Asus, but I praises elsewhere. Also, I have no clue who ASRock are but they seem pretty good. I also want to be quadruple sure that these mobos fit all the other parts. Price range = roughly $170 top limit.

Memory

6+ GB DDR3 (2 sticks for dual channel) and 1600MHz are my current requirements here. Not sure how much CAS comes into play, but I focused on 8. Price range = roughly $80 top range.

• G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL8D-8GBXM - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231445

Graphics Cards

• 2x GTX 460 in SLI (already owned)

PSU

As mentioned, would like enough to run 2 560's. If too expensive, forget about it. Price range = roughly $120 (HX750 is an exception based on excellent reviews)

HDD

I'd like 2 HDD's in RAID 1, at least 1TB each. Price range = roughly $80 each

(P.S. I apologize for the ugly links, but the post editor was driving me crazy with tag errors and I started to feel stupid trying to debug a damn forum post...)

Thanks for all the feedback so far. I actually already have the 2 460's from a friend, cost me around $150 for both so not too upset about that.

And thanks for reminding me that upset people are more vocal than happy ones :) I always go by that concept when advising others but this time I forgot about it myself.

I've been looking through tigerdirect as well and I see some MSI mobos that I haven't seen on Newegg. If anyone has other suggestions about good (reliable) mobos and harddrives, those would be most welcome. I'd like to overclock maybe in the future, but for now I just don't want to have to worry about replacing the motherboard within 2 months due to a failure.

Any other feedback is welcomed as well.

Great mobo, has PCI-E 3.0 support for Ivy Bridge.

Since I'm all set on all the parts other than mobo, and really I'm just looking at ASRock feedback at this point, I started a new thread here: http://www.gamespot.com/forums/topic/28876995/opinions-on-asrock-motherboards?msg_id=333156690&topic_id=28876995&tag=stitialclk%3Bforums

Thanks for all the input in this thread :)
