Look good to me

I would recommend a different brand of DDR3 memory. While OCZ ddr2 stuff is excellent, their DDR3 line is horrendous. good brands include: Kingston, Corsair, G.Skill, Geil, Patriot.

+1 I would go with Kingston HyperX

Looks good. you might wanna get yourself a cheap storage drive to dump the majority of your data. keep your SSD for O/S and essential programs like web browsers, and steam games because they need to be on drive c:\

You've posted that 3 times now

What i meant was, in addition to the SSD, you will want a secondary hard drive for general storage. maybe a 500gb caviar black from western digital.

 

[Darkserge]

Oh, I am going to move my SATA WDC (232GB) to a secondary hard drive for pictures, mp3, other stuff. New SSD is for O/S and games.

I almost forgot about the CPU fan for overclocking right before I order them.

which one is the best if you know...

Remember there isn't much space from memory rams and motherboard heat sink.

 

[jarlmaster47]

both of those coolers suck to be blunt. get an h50. best cooler for the price. outperforms watercooling loops on occasion.

H50 is just a wannabe watercooling kit. a Thermalright TRUE equals it in performance. I would recommend a Xigmatek Red Scorpion (Dark Knight also) for a budget cooler.

ummm what? excuse me but the h50 happens to be the shit. put it in a push/pull and oh MAN!! but seriously the h50 is awesome and is for those who don't want to spend a ridic amount on a watercooling kit and have to deal with the hassle of refilling ur res all the time. the only air coolers on the market currently that can beat the h50 are the noctua dh-n14 in a push/push/pull config and the megahalem in the same config.

noctua dh-n14 in a push/push/pull config and the megahalem in the same config.

Are they both Enormous?

 

[jarlmaster47]

Are they both Enormous?

yes. those are both huge, especially the megahalem
