The cooling on the 290x right now is not very good at all, I would wait for a better vender cooling package before buying one, it is a great GPU that is being held back by the poor AMD cooling right now.

1866 RAM is pretty cheap right now, what are you running now?

I always suggest WD for HDDs, they last a long time, perhaps an SSD would be in order here instead of a new HDD.....
