Get the Geil Ultra Series 4GB RAM , very quick and better than OCZ you selected.
Get a HAF932 Case, excellent cooling and keeps my components nice and cool, well built with lost of space you can't go wrong.
And don't get them speakers they are pretty ****.

Which will be underclocked to 1600 MHz and keep the faster timings
Got the Coolermaster in the basket
Speakers will do for the time being
The thing with the HAF, besides it's looks and noise (both of which are subjective I understand), is that it doesn't have much dust filtering capability. Apropos, you may find yourself having to clean it out a fair bit more often than you would otherwise have to with a case that includes removeable/washable dust-filters. That is of course assuming you want to prevent an army of dust bunnies clogging up your new rig?
I suppose how dusty your workspace is, if you smoke (ash), if you have pets (hair etc.) have to be taken into consideration as to whether it will be an issue.
Personally though I would make sure that if I was buying a case that has been designed for high airflow, that it came with a decent set of filters. Otherwise, you may have to go to the lengths that this bloke has gone to in order to prevent the aforementioned bunnies.
Sorry to throw a spanner in the works at this late stage.

ild change the motherboard ot the msi p55-gd65 its about £20 more but it has the oc genie feature that means if your not too great at overlcocking you press the button on the motherboard and itll autoclock the cpu to about 3.3-3.5 ghz stable. Plus the boards receiving great reviews and ive seen benchmarks of people hitting 4ghz + on it with the 1156 chips.
msi gd65 with oc genie
