Ok, but on your budget id personally prefer the p182.

Woah, thats massively expensive for a PSU ? would you really ever need that much ? i highly doubt it. Try looking at the 620w corsair PSU, i think itd do you better value for money.

If your wanting best performance, the Thermalright gets better results when combined with a decent 120mm fan or 2, the tuniq 120 heatsink is also a very good cooler.

There noisy, and expensive for the quantity of space you get, better off running 2 500gb hard drives in RAID 0.

Why on earth do you need DDR3 ram !?!?! way way way overkill, unless you plan to be overclocking with dry ice or liquid nitrogen,4 gb of this would be far better.
