need advice - how's this build?

[tbickle]

Intel Core 2 Duo E8400
G.Skill 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2 800
Radeon HD 4850
Gigabyte GA-EP35-DS3L
WD6400AAKS
Antec Nine Hundred
Corsair HX520W
probably Xigmatek HDT-S1283

I'm new to building and overclocking.

Changes I'm considering:
[strike]-ram from 800 to 1066[/strike]
[strike]-e7200 to e8400[/strike]
-adding a cpu cooler, maybe later

what are your thoughts on the current build and also the changes? what would give me 'more bang for my buck'?

Use DDR2-800 with a P35 chipset mobo. You can overclock it, but native 1066 has compatibility issues with that chipset.
Although bigger than you need, the PSU is a nice one and offers a comfortable margin.
If you think you will overclock, it will be easier to get a CPU cooler now and install it before mounting your mobo.
If it will fit your budget, get the e8400.

also looking for a good cpu cooler that would fit with my current setup. preferable something is easy to mount since this is my 1st build.
