Ok so I finally broke down and bought this combo.

Gigabyte P67A mobo
Raidmax 630 PSU
Corsair vengeance 2Gx2
Raidmax helios atx
Seagate 1Tb HDD
i5 2500k

The mobo didn't have great reviews, and I will be getting a graphics card when it comes in. The comp I have now has a intel dual core 1.8 GHz proccesor, trying not to get too excited but I should notice a big difference right? Also I have antec 650w psu in old comp should I use this instead of the raidmax?
 
The Raidmax is a poor quality power supply. I would definitely use the Antec 650 Watt over the other power supply. I would not use the other junk power supply at all.

The Core i5 2500K has way more processing power than a Core 2 Duo 1.8 gigahertz Processor. The Core i5 2500K has around 5 times more processing power than your old processor.
 
I just put together an i5 build, and it has me smiling so far. :D The 3.3GHz will be a big improvement, and you have the option to over-clock for more speed.

Also, my temps haven't really even been over 40c that much yet, the stock heatsink is holding up well.
 
I agree. I did not notice it at first, but that power supply unit is not good quality. Select another quality power supply.
 
+1 for new PSU. The only thing you can trust the Raidmax to do is kill your components when it blows.
