If your spending that kind of money you might as well add another hard drive, 1st for OS\Programs, 2nd for Swap File, Games, Video, mp3's, Data, etc. Also I don't see a heat sink you may look at:
Light to Moderate OC - Artic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro 92mm CPU Cooler
High OC - XIGMATEK HDT-S1283 120mm Rifle CPU Cooler w/Artic Cooling MX-2 Thermal Compound
Light to Moderate OC - Artic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro 92mm CPU Cooler
High OC - XIGMATEK HDT-S1283 120mm Rifle CPU Cooler w/Artic Cooling MX-2 Thermal Compound
I would get the Zalman 9700, instead of the 9500. Or one of these:
