Answer #1
I recommend this mobo/cpu/ram combo:
ASRock Extreme3 Gen3/i5-2500K/8GB (2×4) G.SKILL Ripjaws 1600MHz

And this video card:
EVGA nVidia Geforce GTX 560 Ti 2GB

HDD’s are expensive online, check your local shops, the price increase might not have reached them. You can grab an F3 off Frys for cheaper than some places.

And if you want a PSU upgrade, get the TX750 V2, that way you can do SLI if you later decide (560 Ti’s work good in SLI).

Answer #2
I’d recommend a trustworthy brand for PSU (like antec, corsair, seasonic, xfx)
videocard, get a sapphire hd6950 dirt 3 edition
HDD, get a samsung spinpoint f3
Answer #3
looks good, but you are going to have a hard time getting hold of a hard drive at the moment
