Couple of Recommendations:
MOBO: Switch to the ASUS P6X58D-E for savings and USB 3.0 / SATA 6.0Gb/s support.

HDD: Switch to the Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB - Faster & Cheaper

RAM: Go with this Corsair XMS 6GB set for better performance, at same price after rebate.

I prefer the caviar black series to the samsungs de to their quite superior response times. But if long reads and writes is more important for you than an f3 is a better choice.

And the hyper 212+ is a very bad cooler for that price. Get it from amazon or get a different cooler.

i guess i'll replace the MOBO and the RAM then , but i think im keeping the caviar HDD.

About the hyper212+ , Ive found one at my place ~33$ , is that a good price ? or should i get another cooler instead.

I suggest this mobo: 190 USD with promo code, USB3, SATA3

Stick to the RAM you first enlisted, it's a good deal and I never liked MIRs.

If you happen to have a microcenter store near you, you can grab an i7 930 for ~200 USD. If you can wait till august, the 950 will drop under 300 USD.

If I were you, I'd drop the SSD, get another 5850 and this PSU:
