And you may also want to switch to a diffrent PSU, possibly an Enermax or Antec (True series).

i wish my comp was as 1337 as that. Im stuck on this stupid dell because i didn't know much about computers when parents bought it for me Anyways i don't see anything wrong with any parts up there. And lian-li is the shit.

Good call on the Swiftech HSF- I've got a bunch of them..

Also, PC Power and Cooling makes the best PSU out there if you ask me..

I would go socket 939 instead of 754
