Good choice on the cooler. It's cheap and the ones that are better are also 2+ times the price (give or take a fiver).

Case is good, I have the 912 model.

I think you are overpaying on the PSU; that said, I do not know what a better one would be.

A better price for the hard drive. It's not the same model or manufacturer, but it's just as good.

A better DVD burner, for cheaper. Plus, you get some money off of media for the drive.

Instead of a free Intel Robots t-shirt, you can get 20$ off Here, with a promo code. Unless, of course, you really really want that T-shirt.

We can do better on the motherboard, but I have no idea where and what board to replace it with.

We can also do better on the keyboard. That one will NOT really feel like a mechanical one. It also doesn't have very good key rollover (at least in my experience). Spring for a Das Keyboard or the slightly cheaper but still good Razer BlackWidow. The BlackWidow has macro buttons, and is a bit lighter. It also doesn't look as cool as hammering out your words on a blank keyboard :lol:

For the RAM, use these G.Skill DIMMs.

Get the EVGA SC 560ti. It's a bit cheaper, just as high performing, and has a good warranty.

The 11$ mouse will fail you. I guarantee it. If you budget allows (or later on), get a Razer Deathadder. They are solid, not overly spendy, and last a long time. I think (not sure) that they also have a lifetime warranty.

Thanks i will check these out :)

I got a better price with free shipping on the PSU $170.00 and the case $83 believe it or not from Best Buy, they are on the way to me.
