      a couple things to consider...

      1. the DVD burner looks ugly with the huge "philips" logo written across it. i suggest an LG or a Samsung.

      2. if you plan on overclocking your CPU i strongly suggest a different cooler. i recommend the thermalright ultra  120 extreme with a 120mm sycthe kaze jyuni.

      3. i have had nothing but problems with my maxtor harddrives, i suggest either a seagate HD or a western digital HD.

      besides the above 3 things, the rest looks good.

      I like the Philips logo myself, I have a Philips CD player, DVD player, TV, VCR, and radio. They are a good brand. I like the $29.99 and the good performance reports too.

              then that cooler will do fine. also, the harddrive should be fine as well.

                and will this graphic card work with that mobo too?
