Still have no idea about a good headset. Not afraid to pay up to $100 for one. Also, are two fans required with the current heatsink?

for RAM go with 4 sticks, cuz the i5 doesn't support triple channel

try this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145262

Corsair RAM 8 gigs, DDR3 1333....190
then OC it to 1600 or higher if you want


your WD link doesn't work... however the spinpoint F3 is a better choice

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822152185
Samsung spinpoint, 7200 RPM 1 tb......60

Gaming mouse....59
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826104318

or normal mouse.....39 or 40 dollars
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826104328

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823114010
Razer gaming keyboard.....45

Planning on gaming, I assume. The memory is triple Channel, and you need dual channel. 4Gb is quite adequate for today's needs. Here is Crucial for $109 or consider this Mushkin for a few $ cheaper.

Skip the CM heatsink for this Thermaltake Frio for $5 more. It cools a better, and Newegg has not jacked up the price $20 above suggested manufacturer's retail. Have trouble believing they are gouging like that.

Do you need a power supply? Try this case/Antec EarthWatts 750W power supply combo.

Edit: changed reference to a compatible heastsink.

Upendra09 is right about the WD Caviar - it is overpriced compared to the SpinPoint F3. I disagree with the extra RAM - It will generate extra heat and draw more power when overclocking. You will get better results with 4GB
