I like the look of that cooler.

Seems a nice setup.

Id spend a little extra and get a 200gb 7200.10 seagate hdd. Nice spec though. Whats the reason for that mobo in particular.

Well I have an external drive and a server I use for storage etc. My C: drive on my main rig is quite packed for me at the mo and I've still only used 35gb ish.

The reason I've picked that mobo is simply because it meets the requirements, has the 965 chipset, overclocks well etc. I thought about the ds3 and ds4 but (and I know this is silly) but the gigagyte boards are a bit garish for my liking and I've always had asus boards which have never let me down yet...

yea go for gigabyte mobo it's cheaper too
