I got the same case but V3.

I personally like your build, since the case provides a really good AIR Vent sysytem for cooling while having a side fan and the bottom fan which cools the psu shouldn't get you any overheating.

Nice build

What's your overall budget? I'd like to see a nicer GPU, maybe a 560 Ti or 6950. You should get a PSU and motherboard that can handle SLI/Xfire of whatever card you get, as that'll be the easiest upgrade for you in the fairly near future.

...and the PSU depends on the card/how much you're willing to spend.

thanks but can i still use that old fan for thecpu cooler?

Reply to HungryFiend

You could add your old fan to the cooler, but why?

The Evo cooler comes with a PWM fan and its 4 pin connector that you will want to plug into the cpu/fan motherboard connector.
If I was going to double up on cooler fans, I would buy a second PWM fan and piggyback the connectors so they run at the same speed.

So, yes you can but don't do it...

^yep. There'd be no reason to use it with the sink. You can probably find a spot for it in the case, though.

While the ram you picked will work, I prefer to get ram that runs at full spec with only 1.5 volts for Intel systems.

Check out these options for a pair of 4GB sticks with as good latency, speed, heat sinks and all at 1.5v for $40 or less:
