Thats looking like a great build mate good stuff - although I would change the green drive to a caviar black in case you want to use fraps well actually any data transfer at all .. My caviar blue drive I bench marked using dxtory at between 45 - 65mb per second whereas my caviar black drive is anywhere from 90 - 120mb .. so there is a huge difference.

I use an antec case which has good airflow / fans room for lots of HDD etc! but theres lots of good cases around!

Looks good, the only things I would do differently if I was building would be:

1. Get the 2500K instead of the 2600K and save $104. By the look of the cooler you're going to OC so the 2500K will suit you fine so no need for a 2600K with slightly higher default clock.

2. Add the $104 for the Graphics card and get a GTX 580.

3. Have a look at Crucial M4 for the SSD, $20 cheaper but just as good. I've had bad experiences with OCZ SSDs so I'm probably a bit biased and would go with other brands but both either will be ok.

I might be wrong but if you're not overclocking you don't need the K. Just get the regular 2600. I got a regular 2500 for this reason.

Correct prawny, If you have choosen not to OC marine just go the 2600.

Just use the stock cooler.

Also get a 60 gig ssd as your os/games drive.

Thats 300 bucks saved on those 3 alone.
