This is inadequate unless you plan on not overclocking. Everything else looks ok.

I would definitely add a traditional 7200RPM hard drive in the 500GB to 1 TB range for additional storage and for 'in system' back up of the SSD. But that's me.

For air CPU cooling the Thermalright Ultra Extreme is a popular quality heatsink, beware of imitations. It will fit in your proposed HAF case. Don't forget the Arctic Silver #5 and how to apply it.

Im amazed at how many people are building a comparable system to mine at $1500 im at $2200 + taxes, for same equipment. Im in canada i alomost feel like paying someone to put it together in the us and ship it ouit to me. Of course i may get hit with duties though.

Noctua NH-U12P SE1366 is also a good choice. OC-friendly, silent and it fits that motherboard nicely, especially if you don't use the dimm slot closest to the CPU (which you won't do if you use 3 dimms).

OK, too far to drive or meet half way. I would be willing to build it for you if you got me the parts.

For cooler I have one of these:

It's excellent. Included fan is very quiet. Does a brilliant job of cooling my old Pentium D which is a pretty hot CPU.
