I was looking for it and wasn't finding it on newegg, then realized it was a 128 GB and not 120 GB. Thanks for the input, anything else?
 
SSD for ~$100. Intel 330 120GB. It comes with installation kit and and cable.

If you are willing to go $120. then Samsung 830.
Both are more reliable then OCZ.

3570K. since you want to overclock, then you need a different cooler.

One of the best.

You need a HDD. You don't want to save all documents, movies, music to your SSD. It will shorten the longevity. Buy a $60 HDD such as Seagate or Western Digital.

EVGA 670 will be hot n noisy. You really should read the reviews. This one is $20 more.
