Currently;

i5 2500k @ Stock
8gb Ram
z68ap-d3
1800XT gfx
Hiper 520w psu
win 7 pro

PSU is a little dodgy when try to use all my HDD at once, the gfx is bring up artefacts ever now and then and would like a new case so looking to get;

OCUK 6850 1GB
CM HAF-912 Case
CM Silent Pro 500w

Total Cost £183

Any suggestions for better items for roughly same money?

Also tried O'c HSF which works however doing a Intel Smart Burn only lasts ~30 secs until hits 90 and cuts down from full speed so any suggestions on a cheapish goo hsf

£20 off those choices, assuming its the modular one?

Good choices. The Gelid is always recommended on a budget:

But there are cheaper ones, most will be better than the stock!
