Just wanna check if i haven't missed anything or anything i should reconsider before purchasing?

so far ive gone for :

CPU: i5 2500k

Mobo: Asrock Z68 Extreme4 Gen3 Intel Z68

RAM: Corsair XMS3 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit

Cooler: Antec Kúhler H2O 620 CPU Watercooler

SSD: Crucial RealSSD M4 64GB 2.5" SATA 6Gb/s Solid State Hard Drive - Cant afford the 128g but its only for my OS & important apps! as ive got 2TB hard drive for my games!

this is already going in a CM-690 case plus I've already got 5870 (gonna wait for 7000 series of cards as my 5870 is OC'ed a lot! and Corsair PSU!

This is coming from a P35 gigabyte board and Q9550!

Does this look ok?

Thanks

Mark

Bump for you, considering a Similar setup myself.

From an X38 Board with a Q6600 @ 3.2Ghz

yup looks fine, enjoy

don't forget if your not looking to re use your old kit to slap it into the members market and get some money back, Q9550 is still a nice processor.

Id buy another 120mm fan for that cooler so it's push/pull. I suggest typhoons as they are lovely

Already sold my old gear cheers bud!

An ill look into the fans think I've got a spare 120mm which is currently in the case where the radiators will be going! :-)
