Can you check for compatability? Any advice? Gonna buy in a few hours! O yeah, what are your thoughts on using the stock cooler to OC the cpu to 3.6 ghz? Like would the temps be ok? or would I need another fan? Thanks!

It would've been a lot easier if you just listed your components. :)

Looks fine. Maybe change the HDD to 640AAKS or AALS, bit faster than the 500.

Your temps might be ok at 3.6, if you need a cooler the Xigmatech HDT-S1283 is a good bang for the buck.
 
You really need to post what the components are, not just links. It's really not fun following all those links.

You're in luck though, I'm bored so I actually clicked on all those links. The build looks pretty good. I'd upgrade the motherboard to the GA-EP45-UD3P to leave the option of crossfire open. There are combo deals on the E8400 with both the UD3R & UD3P.

For an extra $5 you can upgrade to a faster 640GB drive:

The stock cooler should allow you to overclock to 3.6GHz, but it will run a little warm.
