I already have a cooler master case...the cosmos 1000 i think. I also already have an 850w corsair PS. I mostly game, but am looking for some improved stability as well. Trying to improve over my old cor2quad q9450 on an intel dp45sg setup that runs with a single 4870. Any input would be appreciated.

Its a nice build. The Redline RAM is expensive but I caved for it also. Gigabyte makes another SSD board with no SSD on it which is probably the better choice. The SSD currently on that board is pretty small and won't hold much more than an OS and a few apps. They will make larger sized m-SATA SSD's eventually and you should wait for them.

Heres the other SSD board that doesn't have an m-SATA SSD
