an aftermarket CPU cooler would be nice too if you plan to overclcok at anypoint (your CPU overclocks very easily) but I need to drag my bones to the hay asits late here (UK) and I have an early morning tomorrow so I will leave somebody else to give you the pros of CPU coolers

Drop that DiabloTek PSU. It's absolute junk, and you don't need anywhere NEAR 775W for that system.

I know that you're in the UK, but try to find this PSU. Antec NEO ECO 520C 520W Continuous Power ATX12V v2.3 / EPS12V 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Power Supply

Too much wattage isn't the problem, the quality is, but at least you won't be pushing it very hard. DiabloTek PSU's have a bad habit of failing catastrophically and taking other things with them when they're pushed too hard and fail. Hell, they do that even when they're NOT pushed too hard too, actually. As long as you know the risk...

Yeah, but Newegg reviews are useless, usually lol. Most people that post reviews there don't really know what they're talking about. It's unfortunate, but true.
