Gaming Rig - professional help needed :)

I'm sure you get a ton of these, but I'm looking to be PC master race. Budget is not a problem -> Help me build a computer for gaming that will last for a long time, what do I need?
What I was offered in a pre-built (Im sure building myself is cheaper, and I can if need be)

I'm a total newb, so I'm just listing what they wrote on the spec list, can't go anymore specific

Vision Silent Phantom tower/case
Intel DP67DE-B3 motherboard
Intel® Core™ i7-2600 4x3.40GHz
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
8GB DDR3 RAM DualChannel
GeForce GTX560Ti 1GB
Seagate 1000GB S-ATA3 6Gb/s (7200rpm)
Scythe CPU cooler
Seasonic 600W 80+ power supply

If budget isnt a problem, you can do alottt better then that. However if you dont list a set amount and only list you want bleeding edge tech, the amount of $ might be beyond what you were expecting.

Well I guess I just want to be able to play coming games like BF3 and Guild Wars 2 with lag free framerate.

I guess I could set budget at around 230 dollars, how far will that get me?

If you really want a gaming PC to hold a long time you will save some cash for a upgrade two years from now.

(spend 2/3 of the cash right now, save 1/3 for a graphic exchange 1.5-2 years from now.)

This is what i would get if I had a large enough budget (today):

A 2600k

A SLI/CF capable board to go with the CPU.

8GB ram.

A GTX570/HD6970 or stronger card, this is the most crusial point when it comes to gaming, I would rather buy one strong card than a dualGPU card or SLI/CF,

becasue when you want to upgrade later on you can buy another one to SLI/CF on the capable board you opt. for.

A Quality 850w 80+(silver/gold) PSU capable to run atleast two of the cards i opt. for down the road, a hx850 is solid, if mo'ney isn't a issue at all i'd even consider the corsair 1000w's PSU's.

A large midTower / Fulltower Case, preferably a silent one with sound dampened HDD's/sides and a cuple extra fanslot's so you can add cooling after your preference. corsair 800D could be the one? Depending on the case i would exchange/fill most fanslots with 120mm/140mm Nexus, they're very silent compared to just about any other fan regardless of price.

I would buy a Solid CPU cooler and preferably a Air cooler, the Noctua 14 is a good choise.

Buying som plastic stipes and some sound dampening material is a extra opt. that i always do use with a new build.

Implying I didn't just find the person above you's rig for less than 230.

Also I meant 2300. Im converting from another currency and read the decimals wrong

Well no-one can help you unless you say what currency, because pc parts are drastically cheaper in the US.

How is the HAF-X case?

Air-cooler or water cooling for the cpu? Whats best

i7 2600K

GTX 580 SLI

8GB DDR3 Ram

Gigabyte P67A-UD7

1000W PSU

HAF X

Don't think it would be the wisest route, as you can match cheaper parts to get similar performance. But this would be a killer.

Of course, if you have the budget, water is best. But not everyone is willing to deal with the bit of maintence of water.
