PSU-http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341022

Using my old Graphics card from the comp im using atm, EVGA GeForce GTS 250

Also buying Windows 7 64bit/ Some extra thermal grease depending if i want to screw legit OS and get another copy from my cousin and instead buy

a aftermarket cpu fan.

Mainly upgrading old parts i had, new cpu/motherboard/bigger hdd ( mine has a measly 64gb left :s desperatly wanted more)

and for added airflow hence the case, wanted the cable management aswell as extra space. due to mycase only having 2 fans, 80mm.

2nd Edit: Also wanted to know if 550W would be nuff for the CPU/fans/stuff...i dont really plan to OC it untill D3 comes out by that time ill have more money for a better GPU/ CPU fan

PSU- get 750w if you wanna future proof yourself

Hard Drive- you can get a 1tb for close to $50 these days, so you can get more for half the price of the one you listed.

Ram- Your timing is at 9-9-9, if you were planning on overclocking or anything, an 8-8-8 is a better idea, they are usually just $10 more

If you are gonna spend $180 on a case, get a corsair, they are beast http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811139009
