SimplyPC its more helpful if you can keep to the same thread, it means people don't end up asking questions that have already been answered :)

Looks good. Are you considering overclocking the CPU? If not then downgrade to the non-k version of the 4960. Maybe get a better case as well, like the HAF 912.

And get a caviar black HDD if it fits into your budget :)
