This configuration can kill any of the current games and it will handle all the upcoming games for atleast 1 year with highest settings. You can reduce the price by going for slightly cheaper monitor and a single 4 GB Ram for now.

1. Pairing 7870 with i5-2400 and DH67-CL isn't a good idea.
2. From where did you get that offer on RAM?
3. One can't install high heatsinks, which all good heatsinks are. Even V6GT won't fit inside Lexa S. I would suggest CoolerMaster 690 Basic @4.5K over that case. Or even going by cheaper solution NZXT Gamma @2.4K would be better than Lexa S.
We are not talking about funky look of Lexa S here.
4. I've not heard of any good feedback about Numeric UPS till date. Better option is APC 1KVa.

For next 6-8 months of futureproofing, 7970 is totally overkill. A 6950 would suffice in OP's case.
About PSU, OP should go for Corsair TX750V2 @6.8K or TX850V2 @7.5K

OP can change RAM to Corsair Vaue select RAM @2.4K if he wants to cut down his budget a bit. Otherwise top class suggestion.

The PSU's you are suggesting are overkill even for a hd 7870, so OP should go with either Corsair GS600 or Corsair TX650V2. BTW, why is it a bad idea to use a hd 7870 with i5 2400 and DH67CL ?

 

[rajan1311]

even those are an overkill...get the seasonic 520W PSU... more than enough...you aint gonna OC anyways..

 

[Cilus]

You can't actually OC even if you want if you're using Non K processor with H67 motherboard.
@d6bmg, thanks for pointing about the Ram, H67 and Non K processor doesn't support anything over 1333 MHz speed for ram. So edited my post.
