Corsair 6GB (3x2GB) 1866MHz Dominator Memory

XFX HD 5870 1GB DDR5 Dual DVI HDMI Display Port Out PCI-E Graphics Card

Sony AD-7240S 24x DVD±RW DL & RAM SATA Optical Drive

2xWD 1TB 3.5" SATA-III 6Gb/s Caviar Black Hard Drive - 7200rpm 64MB Cache

Arctic Cooling Freezer 13 Cpu Cooler

oc the cpu, may want to upgrade the cooling if you want 4ghz.
a ssd?

Already have an SSD (forgot to mention that). What cooling would you suggest? The graphics card ok?

the graphics card is fine if you can wait for the new cards, you could get a 2nd cheap 5870 if you're finding its struggling.

see how far you can push the cpu on your current cooler.
