Totals to about $1322 and want to keep it near this total.
I am considering an SSD if it is really recommended. Any opinions/changes would be appreciated.
Along with the suggested cooler above, I'd swap the power supply for a Corsair AX650. You can find the AX650 for the same price or if you really think you need a 750W the AX750 is about $30 more. Gold certified, 100% modular and will power your system with ease. If you really want to make your system look great you can purchase these optional cables as replacements for the ones that come with the PSU. These are only available for the AX and HX series PSU's.
I would also get an SSD. A 120gb Crucial M4, Corsair Force, etc are all under $130 now. They make a huge difference that you really have to see to believe.
First of all, i support both the comments above, regarding the 750w PSU, get it only if u plan to reuse the PSU in a future build. Now to the point of SSD-s, installing one in your pc will greatly improve the loading time of the OS and other programs installed on it. If u plan to install games on it i would advise to reconsider, mainly because ssd-s dont improve loading times in all the games ( wow and bf3 are one of those exceptions ). Also i am big fan of the 2500 k, so if u plan to heavily oc your pc go for the 2500k (less heat )
* The cooler you had was more expensive and offers little performance increase
* This GPU offers better cooling
* This PSU offers room for SLI in the future and saves you $40
* This motherboard is cheaper and should provide all the features you need with no performance loss.
* I saved you enough money for one of the best SSD's on the market and would highly suggesting getting it
Lastly, I disagree with the people above saying you should get the H80. It hardly cools better then the average air cooler and costs 4 times the amount.
