If it's within budget, id get this cooler instead: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=BG-057-CM

It may say *B grade*, but just webnote the store to find out whats missing from it, normally it'll just be a return.

Otherwise, spot on. I actually want a rig like that.

If the two HDD's were the same price would you still pick that one, because I've picked that one because of a deal elsewhere.
As far as the coolers go, is there a big differnce? The 212 came highly recommended as a great budget choice, and I'm looking at a silver arrow and some good case fans, when I recover from this spend.

totally agree with the HDD and OD, The RAM could be swapped to save money, though the vengeance will look better. Personal choice.

Great.

So what did you decide on in the end?
