Building my first PC

I am about to build my first PC. I am getting my list together of things I want and things I can afford. I am not a heavy gamer, but I will be using my PC for some light gaming, but mostly streaming movies and videos from YouTube! I really want the ASUS P9X79 Mobo, but it is a bit out of my price range, around $200 would be perfect, does anybody have any experience with the MSI Z68A-GD80 (G3)? its about $230, is that too little for what I want, or too much? Also want the I7 2600 processor, is that a bad idea?

All you need is an i5-2500K and an Asus P8Z68-V LE. You are looking at components that are way too expensive.
