2500 seems high to me. Assuming your not buying a 36 inch led screen with it... 1500 will build you one hell of a system.
I think 8gig ram is fine and that 560ti will last you a long time. I think SLI today is just a dick waving contest. Games are build to run well on the single cards and that 560 will run everything out there.
From an important perspective Video card is going to give you biggest bang. But you also want to make sure you buy something that will support what is coming. For instance you want USB3.0, and if you can something that might support PCIe 3.0, for the next generation of video cards. You want SATA 6gb/sec capabilities from an IO perspective, as well as using a SSD. Right now that means a z68 chipset.
Are you going to build it?
Do you have a case now that you would use? is it ATX or micro at?
Also what is your existing power supply? Is it 700 wats or more?
Do you have a SATA DVD drive today?
What kind of hardrives do you have today? Do you have any that are SATA? or are they all IDA?
