thanks for the reply, I selected that cooler Coz a buddy recommended it, but I'm open to suggestions.

Gigabyte board looks good, what would the differences
Be worth the change?

All of these coolers are good:

That gigabyte board is higher quality all around...I think the biggest difference will be in overclocking stability, though. It's also capable of 3-way SLI, though you case isn't. (well, it is, but not with any of these mobos)

If it's too expensive, the board you've picked isn't "bad" at all, but it's generally not a good idea to pick the cheapest part you can find, you know? If that one's too expensive, though, these are both good as well:

I wouldn't recommend ASRock, simply because it's not a very popular brand, as Gigabyte, Asus, etc are. Other than that, with the WD Caviar Black the Drenlin mentioned, build looks good!

Oh, and the 470 should fit just fine in that 902 ;)
 
^ Yeah, forgot to mention that

Here's a picture of a Radeon HD5850 in a 902...the GTX 470 is about the same size:

Thanks for the help guys, im going with the first gigabyte mobo drenlin recommended,
Still working coolers out.
Im also questioning the 470 vs a 460 -

Take a look in the gpus section at the thread i will make?

Cheers
