I am considering an upgrade from my current system because one of my graphics cards died last night.

Current Rig:

Asus P5N32-E SLI
E6600 @ 3.52Ghz
2 X BFG 8800 GTX
8 Gig Corsair XMS2 800Mhz
2 X Samsung Spin Point F3 1TB
Cosmos S

I am considering this bundle:

I will use my current power supply & hard drives but would like suggestions for a graphics card, case & cpu cooler to buy at the same time.

Cheers

Thanks RJC I forgot to mention I will use my current power supply which is a Cooler Master 80 Plus 850W.
In the reviews for the mother board some people mention that the cpu cooler is not very good what are your thoughts?

Cheers
 
Ah yes, got carried away with the build spec :)

The CPU cooler is fairy good one, the issues people are getting is the fan is not ramping up & down, not knowing the BIOS it may be a case the cpu fan header output could be changed in the BIOS.

Have you bought about purchasing the part separately and over clocking your self.
 
Yes I have thought about buying the parts separately & overclocking myself that will add to the fun of the build, are you thinking of a different combination of components?
 
Used memory with higher timings as the hetasinks on the Corsair memory will probably inter fear with the cpu cooler.

Cheers RJC I will go with your recommendations but with 8 gig of RAM, can recommend another CPU cooler because the one you suggested is not in stock.
