I'm currently not sure on the graphics, I might reuse my current one (its a BFG Geforce 9600 GT OC) but I'm not sure (any suggestions?).

Suggestions/comments on this build?

looks good but most ppl will say wait ati 5xxx series is only a week or 2 away use your 9600 till then then you'll get current graphics cards a bit cheaper or grab a new 5 series

 

[FallenSniper]

Yeah what obsidian said, the new 5 series from ati should lower the prices of current cards, and maybe there will be a better price/performance card within that series.

As a side note, I've never heard of Panaflo

Panaflo's real brand is Rexus fans. and surely he's getting the 120mm

Ok thanks for the recommendations. And yea I'm getting the 120mm fan, I updated the original post to have the full name of the fan.

everything looks good, could change the golds to the platinum set.

everything looks good, could change the golds to the platinum set.

Looks like the difference between them is the platinums are faster (lower CAS latency and timings), is the speed difference (in actual use) significant enough?

EDIT:
According to the Platinum Description on newegg it does actually have a heatspreader.
