CPU Cooler Zalman CNPS 9700 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835118019 $48.98 (IS A COOLER NEEDED?)

Thanks for the thanks! 

I think your hardware selection is great (similar to mine) but I would add a word of warning with the Zalman CNPS 9700 (which is what I have). It's heavy. And put's a lot of load pulling down on the CPU mounting area of the Gigabyte Mboard (I have EP45-UD3R). I elected to strap mine to the top of the case frame with nylon ties to reduce the stress on the motherboards physical structure. And very important is if your going to transport your PC, lay it on it's right side so that Zalman is in an upright (weight wise) position.
 I decide all this after I noticed the cooler sagging because of lack of the EP45-UD3R motherboard rigidity (which is not good).

Anyway, have fun with your build. It should be a great running combo!

Well, if the air conditioner compressor quits in my car, I know where to get a replacement!!

I'd bet it would come closer to replacing the condenser or evaporator, (but you still might need additional supports).
