speck looks good, the other components case mouse etc are personal preference and what you need them for gaming etc. i's consider an nvidia gpu, i'm loving my 7950.

Stock fans will always do well for colling a factory clocked processor, but usually If you wanna get any serious overclocking down, spend that little bit more and get a thinrd-party cooler to get those speeds higher.

mostly gaming and im not to bothered with wireless. Tbh still havent decided 100% on gpu, i probly have to check on oncoming games that i want to play and see which brand they favour.

yeah i will mostly likely get a 3rd party cooler

*EDIT*

tempted to buy EVGA GeForce 7950 GX2 because of its 90 Day Step-up/upgrade programme :eek:

i've checked into the step up program, i can get the 7950 superclocked if i want but because i've oc'd my 7950 i doubt i'll get an improvement anyway! I'm not having problems playing any games at 1600x1200 res with everything on!
