Please tell me I'm going to be happy. the parts are:

*CPUCOOL|ARCTIC FREEZER 7 PRO REV.2 - Retail

*INTEL|CORE I5 750 2.66G R - Retail

*MEM 2Gx2|GSKILL F3-12800CL7D-4GBRM - Retail

*MB GIGABYTE GA-P55-UD4P P55 RT - Retail

*SSD 80G|INTEL SSDSA2M080G2XXX OEM - OEM

I got all that that for 650 DOLLARS!!!

The other components for the rig will be scrapped from the current one (i.e 260gtx, case, psu, soundcard)

I plan on OC'ing the i5 to 4.0ghz with the arctic freezer. I think the ram and mobo I have are pretty good too.

What do you guys think?

You could use a better case and CPU cooler, but other than that, you've got a really nice and balanced assortment of parts there.

Thanks guys. I'm pretty happy because of the price. I used to game a lot, bit I've shifted to a more balanced need. This would include some media stuff and daily use. I guess that's where the benefit of the SSD will come in. After reading a ton of reviews for that cooler, I've seen it as a slight "light-weight", but it should be able to pull 4.0ghz in my ambient surroundings.

Looks good, one thing i would say is that you may actrully want to use your CNPS 9500 as your air cooler because it may cool a slighty bit better than the freezer pro, other than that looks good, very jealos of the SSD
