So after input and research, I think this is what my build is finalizing as.
Case: Corsair Carbide 400R - $99.99 + $19.99 shipping - $5 MIR IF I follow thru
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811139008
PSU: Corsair HX520 - $0 (reuse)
Board: Asus P8Z68-V - $165
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131729
CPU: i7-2600k
RAM: CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CML8GX3M2A1600C9B
- CPU and RAM in Combo Deal = $352.98 (RAM is $10 off plus $15 for the combo + if I order today, a $15 gift card on the cpu)
- Combo link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboD...t=Combo.723494
HSF: CM Hyper 212+ - $29.99
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835103065
Artic Cooling MX-4 - $12.99
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835186038
SDD : Crucial M4 64gb - $89.95
HDD : WD 500gb - $0 (reuse)
DVD : DVDRW - $0 (reuse)
Video: none - integrated CPU for now - $0
Total with shipping from Newegg = $680.93
Total from other site for SSD = $89.95
Total = $ 770.88
Question 1 - is the Corsair Vengeance memory OK?

Question 2 - I'm still torn on 2500k vs 2600k; if I drop down to a 2500k I could spring for the 128gb Crucial M4 or just come in under budget. I'm sure the 2500k will be more than enough for me, but I also don't plan on upgrading (other than possibly a video card) for 3 years.
