Yep

Yep

Yep

Get a HD 6850 or a GTX 460/1G for 1920x1080

Nope, get G.skill, Corsair or something. If buying off newegg:

Better get the Samsung Spinpoint F3

Corsair TX 750, Antec TruePower New 750 are better

RAM:
I read that the CL is more important than the mHz, i could get the
"CORSAIR XMS3 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3 1600 CL9 Dual Memory Kit ", is it better?? (the OCZ are CL7, 1333)

Power Supply:
"Cooler Master GX750 750w PSU" Or "HEC Cougar 750W PSU" are the two available, kindly advise...

Frankly, I don't like either psu much - your original Fatl1ty is better. You don't need 7xxW for this rig, unless you are protecting yourself to add a second vidcard. If not, go down to 520W Seasonic or Corsair.

Neither CL nor speed matters much for gaming. If you are OCing the cpu, get 1600 cl9. If not OCing, get 1333 CL9. If, by chance, a CL7 kit from a quality vendor is within a few dollars of either one, you could choose that kit. But you will not notice the change in performance.

With ram, you also need to make sure that you get even timings.. Some manufactures just market the lowest CAS timing wherein the full timing layout is something like 7-8-7-24.. Avoid them.. Best to opt for memory with uniform timings such as 8-8-8-24

Will change the vga, stick to PS and check for memory with uniform timings...

Thanks a lot
