Your config is pretty solid to me. But it will be better if you fill up the questions present in the PC build questionnaire template thread and post it here. It will help us to understand your need more efficiently.

sms, provide the info correctly, You've mentioned that you already have a 2 TB internal and similar external storage. So storeage should be excludaded from the config but in the question 12 where you are asked to provide components not to be included you've mentioned nothing.

Here is the config:-

Core i5 2500K @ 10.8K
Gskill Ripjaws 1600Mhz DDR3 4GB X 1 F3-12800CL9S-4GBRL @ 1.75K
MSI Z68A-GD65 @ 9.8K
Cooler Master 690 II Plus @ 4.8K
Corsair GS600 80+ @ 4K
Sapphire HD 6870 1 GB @ 11K
BenQ G2220HD @ 7K
Razer Cyclosa Gaming Keyboard Mouse Bundle @ 2.2K
Razer Goliathus Small Fragged Speed/Control @ 0.5K
APC 1.1KVA UPS @ 4.3K

dear Cilus
i mentioned in my post that i already own components in bold and that the budget mentioned above is primarily for processor mainboard graphics card.
i have edited the post and moved the components above. the reason i had put them there was if somebody wanted to suggest a better alternative i would have gone for that
thanks again for the help
