Are my gaming parts good?

I am finally upgrading my computer after 6 years and decided to make my own computer that would last for a long time and would still be able to run future games on high
I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to computers but i have done my research and i feel like these would be good with each other.
CPU: intel it-2500k processor
Motherboard: Maximus iv gene z68 asus or p8p67 asus (which ones better?)
Graphics card: radeon hd 7850 or gtx 560 ti (not sure which is better for the price)
PSU: Corsair 600w power supply
RAM: 4gb
Case: just any cheap case

That's all i have so far, are these all the parts needed to build a computer? Like i said i'm new to this kind of thing so spare me
Thanks to all who reply and if anyone can suggest better parts for a better price please say so. My budget is around 1000$ AUD.

Don't forget that you need an optical drive, hard drive, and possibly an operating system.

What site are you buying the parts from from? MSY.com.au?

All of those things should work together. The Maximus should be better then the P9p67, but I'm not sure of the prices, and probably not by a lot. The 7850 is better then the 560 Ti according to benchmarks. You also need a hard drive, and probably a DVD drive if you plan on installing an operating system.
