Both are same in terms of performance.Vengence is high profile ram and ripjaws X is low profile.You can't install big Cpu cooler like Noctua D14 and many others with Corsair Vengence but with Gskill you can.

@Nilgtx260: If gaming is the only requirement & your friend run these latest games in 1080p then you may require an SLI of 6870 very soon or as mentioned by you, HD 7xxx series will be ideal for the purpose.
IMO get a better PSU like atleast Corsair TX650 v2 or 750v2, if planning to be futureproof. GS600 is a good series, but won't sustain much longer when upgrade demands. Moreover there's not a big gap in pricings of TX650 v2 & GS600.

From the way Asus has been pricing its mobo, I am getting more inclined feeling that they are pricing for their brand name than the quality or standard that top tier manufacturers usually do.
Even though I ended up buying a Gigabyte P67 UD7, I could not find an Asus board that can support 3 way SLI/CFX at the time I made my purchases. Does it mean that it was a design deficit? Or design limitation?
And so I feel that Z68 boards from Asus are not justifiable compared to other manufacturers.
So for OP, it is better that he goes for H67 or AMD based mobos as he does not plan to over clock. Also buying a K series processor when not overclocking would be a waste of money if he is not opting for Z68 based mobo.

I am now confused, K processor is useless as no plan for OC, I wanted i5 2400 but price gap between 2400 and 2500 is only 400, so as suggested by Tenida i5 2500 would be good & for mobo I first selected asus h67 but now I am confused which one should I opt for ? budget is tight 40K, so I need to reduce mobo price and add that to PSU for TX 650V2.
