no need for getting sata3 hdd. SSD benefit from sata3.
you can reduce to 2500k but 2600k recommended if you want to keep system for 4-5 years.
remember you need a aftermarket cooler to overclock 2600k.

get from primeabgb, elounge etc.

a strong suggestion - wait for amd bulldozer cpus. launching on sept 19 most probably.
